update:
the next international conference is now planned to take place in September 2022 in Belgium. More news later!
Update:
The scientific research project has extend. See below on this page or click here
Some of the subjects we talked about
Like everybody else in our world today, we can only meet online, but fortunately it is a possibility in these difficult times.
We had a meeting this week and we will inform you about important subjects.
The conference in 2021 is postponed (again)
The international conference was planned to occur in Belgium Le Mons this fall.
We just do not believe this is possible. Maybe some people can travel, others cannot.
So, we decided to ask the Belgian organizers to move the conference to 2022.
And fortunately, they accepted.
We plan to have our next conference in April 2022 in Charleroi Belgium. We are grateful the organizers are willing to find a new date for the second time. There will be a local conference (in French) at the planned date this fall.
This means that the only international isna-mse conference in 2022 is in the spring instead of the fall.
ISNA qualifications
Sometimes we are asked to, officially, improve Snoezelen rooms.
This is not possible.
Rooms are always depending on country, financial opportunities, and cultural interests.
Snoezelen is about the relationship between a caring person and a person who needs/enjoys care, and we would love to qualify this relationship. We do this by organizing ISNA improved courses in many languages and many countries. Find your teacher on our homepage or contact your local ISNA-mse.
Member Fee
In spite of a lot of work our cashier did not succeed in collecting the annual membership fee from all members. We will not demand payment this year, because we do not have a conference. But we hope you will pay the fee before the next conference in April 2022.
Facebook group
Our ISNA-mse Facebook group is growing every day. We now have more then a thousand people there, many very active, which is great! We urge suppliers to use this group in a modest way and only tell about new inventions people need to know about. click the ‘F’ symbol in top, or click here to visit the group
The site
To keep our site interesting of all, please send information you want to share with other people. This can be about research, course to be planned or whatever could be nice to know. Send your information to maurits@isna-mse.org and we will take care of it. companies can have information on our site, but it will be marked as an announcement, and cost a little money that can help us keep the site in the air.
Dear parents with children and members of the ISNA-MSE,
Due to the corona crisis, many children and adults with limitations are unable to visit their day care because in most countries this day care is still closed or only partially open.
This situation has a big impact on the family situation, because often the home environment for someone with a disability is not always optimal.
Many parents are not able to respond to this problem, because of lack of time if one or both parents are going to their jobs
We are often approached with requests to advise and if possible, to support with practical examples. If you have a good idea or tips available about doing something within the home situation in the area of Snoezelen, please send us your thoughts and we will post it on the website.
Let us support each other in these difficult times and try to find simple solutions.
On the link https://isna-mse.org/homemade-snoezelen/ you will find some simple ideas that can be made by yourself and can be used in the home situation to let Snoezel activities take place
Snoezelzorg is a foundation that links the care demand of a client – people with a physical and/or intellectual disability, the elderly and people with a psychiatric background – to a snoezel caregiver or sex caregiver. They offer the possibility to make use of reliable and safe care.
Invitation to you all to participate in a scientific Snoezelen study!
Dear ISNA members and Snoezelen colleagues worldwide,
In cooperation with the University Groningen in the Netherlands and the Academic Collaborative Center PIMD has started an international research project on the effectiveness of snoezelen in persons with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD). We aim to use the study results to work towards a snoezelen approach that offers a good fit with people with PIMD, healthcare and education professionals and parents and relatives. We would like to ask you to help us reach participants.
We would like to ask you to distribute the following call to people you know who use snoezelen in persons with PIMD. The call and the questionnaire are available in English, German, Spanish and Dutch. For questions, please contact the contact person below.
Thank you very much in advance,
Sincerely,

Now also a Facebook group in Spanish, Made by Maria José
Maria José in Spain has been given a European Erasmus project. The University of Lleida Catalonia, the Czech Republic and Poland are participating.
Our international research project is entitled: “ Support of the Snoezelen concept and its integration into university education” and is co-funded by Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. There are three universities from three countries co-operating in the project:
– Slezska univerzita v Opavie, the Czech Republic (Coordinator),
– Akademia Wychowania Fizycznego im. Bronisława Czecha w Krakowie, Poland (Partner).
– Universidad de Lleida, Spain (Partner).
The main objective of the project is to prepare a comprehensive instructional methodology and syllabus of the course “Snoezelen” at an international tertiary-educational level. We aim at creating the university course which will be applicable in an international student mobility. So far there is no such academic course, although Snoezelen-MSE is gaining on popularity worldwide. We believe this blanc should be filled, thus contributing to professional and scientific approach to unique multisensory Snoezelen context.
The main project outputs are:
– publishing a monograph and individual scientific papers dealing with Snoezelen concept and practice
– creating videos and a set od additional case studies as an example of the practical part of the course
– designing the “Snoezelen” course for student mobilities.
In our project we unite: intellectual outputs, transnational project meetings, multiplier events, as well as learning, teaching and training activities.
The project continues for a period of three years: from 09.2020 till 08. 2023. Our cooperation runs smoothly and brings results already. We are, a. o., working together on the monograph, analysing data for the papers and planning for the video instructions. We feel this project is much needed and at the same time very rewarding.
