Helpen met Paarden – Equitherapie
Vragenlijst Amat EU project
Introduction
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Hereby we would like to invite you to participate in a study which is part of a Leonardo da Vinci
partnership in the Lifelong Learning Programme, with the title:
A European qualification framework for practice and training in Animal Mediated Assistance and
Therapy (AMAT) and Animal Assisted Activities(AAA).
This study and questionnaire is dealing with Equine assisted and mediated interventions only
With this study we are trying to make an inventory of the animal-assisted interventions (AMAT =
Animal Mediated Assistance and Therapy and AAA =Animal Assisted Activities) as well as the
training for practitioners in this field that is offered in all countries of partners. The results of the study
will help us to define current problems and specific interests of all involved people in order to reflect
on it in our future work within the field of AMAT/AAA.
In addition to the questionnaire, we will send you a detailed project description and a list of all
partners involved in this project.
If you have questions or if you are interested in more information about the project progress and
current results do not hesitate to contact us!
You can reach the representative of the involved partner organization at:

Thank you for your help!
Yours sincerely,
.Name contact person partner organization
For more information, please see the project description and the list of involved organisations. In the
list you can find a link to the homepage of the national foundation for working with AMAT/AAA
activities.

A Leonardo Da Vinci EU Partnership Project
between organisations dealing with the training and realisation of AMAT/AAA with horses takes place in the following countries :
• Belgium
• France
• Germany
• The Netherlands (www.equitherapie.org)
• Poland
• Slovakia
The organizations joining in this project are working with AMAT/AAA which means they support
people with disabilities in physical, psychological, mental or social order. Working within the
educational, social, therapeutic or rehabilitative field we complement and deepen the medical,
paramedical and educative interventions in a very efficient way.
The partner project aims on a guaranteed level of identical interventions of quality within different
fields an functions in AMAT/AAA in the EU. This can only be realized by conforming training programs
to a well defined levels of quality and competences that we will research and develop within this
project.
This will result in a system of quality and security guaranties for the clients or customers in the EU.
More information can be found on the list of the organisations and their activities and goals.
About this project
Animal Mediated Assistance includes measures for educational, social, therapeutic or rehabilitative
activities being carried out by professionals with the help of the animal as subject within the triangular
process (the client, the animal and the professional undergo a relation on which the process is
based).The involvement of the animal is supposed to be a sort catalyst within the intended process.
According to the outcomes of the former Pegasus project dating from 2003 to 2005 and other studies
there is no discussion about the efficiency of AMAT/AAA, if properly done according to well defined
quality criteria. But because of the lack of an official framework for teaching and practice of AMAT/AAA
in European countries and means of official quality control we cannot exploit those opportunities
efficiently. Furthermore this deficiency disables the upcoming generation of well educated specialists in AMAT/AAA to establish themselves as professionals and to enable cooperation between specialists in practice, training and quality control within Europe. On the other side the outcomes of this project could be profit to the financial deciders an clients themselves making them able to distinguish between the different offers of practice in AMAT/AAA.
As examples for big problems is the fact that in AMAT/AAA different professions are involved who have to undergo the training as an additional training to their basic profession and practice with clients without animals involved. Therefore we have to do with different basic assumptions at the beginning of the training and in practice we have to do with a lot of very different training programs differing from 3 days to three years. There is a broad variety in definition of competencies and methods partially scientifically well justified partially not.
Our objectives are to build a multi-dimensional framework of contents, legal and organizational aspects of quality criteria . So we will also assist mental health organizations by giving them tools to compare different forms and competences in Animal Mediated Assistance (AMAT) or Animal Assisted Activities in the different European countries.
Why this survey?
This project enables the European organizations being involved in AMAT/AAA to constructively exchange their knowledge and practice in order to develop a qualitative framework approved by the European Commission. This will lead to transparency and quality control of AMAT/AAA for all the involved parts: clients, practitioners, trainers, pupils, social and medical organizations. Political and financial decisions can be based in the future on this framework within the EU. This would lead to more efficient practices in AMAT/AAA to more efficient organisation so to open opportunities for real professionals and to simplify the communication between them and exchange of professionals, training programs and lifelong learning for AMAT/AAA from one country to the other within the EU.
To approach harmonization of practice, training and quality control of AMAT/AAA we work on a diagnostical review of the concrete practices, competences, profiles and trainings in the involved partner countries. Further we aim to make a summary of the problems issued from the diagnostical review.
Why you and/or your organization?
Therefore we looked for organizations in the partner countries, who are involved closely to the practice and training for AMAT/AAA with horses and dogs, in order to aid us in our survey on the current practices and problems in the involved countries.
As your organization or you as a practitioner in AMAT/AAA prove to be involved closely in this topics we would appreciate very much your help in the first phase of our partner project by answering the questions of our survey questionnaire. Please use the free forms especially to inform us about problems you are confronted with in your practice. Sure we will inform you after our analysis over the outcomes of our survey and may contact your again for further steps intended
If you need more information or do have questions about this project please contact
Yours sibcerely
