The aim of the project is to create, test and disseminate an innovative set of educational tools (30 sets) which are dedicated to deaf people. The general idea is to provide them with durable tools that will shape entrepreneurial attitudes among deaf. The point of the project is to create educational sets which will contain interactive and alternative films. Thanks to those tools, deaf people will be able to choose the way of educating that suits them. Modern educational sets are comprehensive and complementary to the content of education with which deaf people face: with disrupted language communication, afatics, with auditory processing disorders, with central hearing impairment in special schools and integration facilities. Thus, sets will create equal opportunities by shaping a large-scale entrepreneurial attitude. The task will be to eliminate barriers, delays and to strongly stimulate attitudes such as: resourcefulness, activity, commitment, creativity and creativity of people with hearing impairments. Using modern scientific aids during classes, in addition to the creative-, exercises-, control- and education- functions, meets the criteria of the so-called polisensory teaching - uses larger amounts of sensory or learning styles, which is particularly important in the education of the handicapped people. The target groups are: - children and youth on ISCED 2 teaching level in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The program can be effectively used in school meetings, homes and outside the official education system. - didactic personnel - teaching, pedagogues, school psychologists, - families of deaf people, - dissemination phase - school management staff, teachers, pedagogues, school psychologists, school management and management bodies, decision makers, and higher education institutions. The essence of innovation in the transnational cooperation is the combination of experience and knowledge from 3 countries (European added value) to create a universal design, which will be more efficient and effective, and can be disseminated on a wider scale. The partnership consists of: Foundation designer of educational sets, coordinate the implementation, and -two special schools with the great experience and background in the deaf education from Slovakia and Czech Republic. This partnership for several years was successfully working in the area indicated in the application form, is seriously able to establish the product ( 30 educational sets). Thanks the supervision of the Intellectual Work Team will be offered development, providing good value and quality management. Next steps will be: testing, effectiveness control, evaluate to the final version and finally dissemination. Thanks to such form of the Partnership will be saved project live in both the product and influence. Dissemination phase provides the transfer of developed innovations to the participants of the project: management, didactic personnel, educators of deaf people, non-governmental units providing education and support for the deaf from above Countries from Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia Potential users will be informed about the advantages of developed products, the benefits generated by their use and advantages advantage in relation to existing teaching methods. All the message will be supported by PR activities forwarded online and traditional. Additionally will be used so-called “whispered advertising” especially effective within the deaf community. Information to the media will be transferred by the press articles, notes and brifings informing about the results and progress in the project. The interest by the media these topics will distribute information to the general public. In this action will be involved regional and national media incl. deaf community newspapers and Internet portals.
The essence of the project was to create, test and disseminate as well as ensure the durability of using by deaf people innovative sets of educational tools that shape entrepreneurial attitudes. The aim of the project was to create educational sets, the main tool of which are variants of films prepared in such a way that they correspond to the preferred method of educating deaf people. Modern educational sets are comprehensive and complementary to the content of education faced by deaf people, people with impaired linguistic communication, apathy people, with auditory processing disorders, with central hearing impairment in special schools and integration institutions, they will serve to equalize opportunities by shaping a large-scale entrepreneurial attitude. Its task will be to eliminate barriers and delays and strongly stimulate attitudes: resourcefulness, activity, commitment, creativity and creativity of people with hearing impairments. Using modern teaching aids during classes, in addition to cognitive, training, control and educational functions, meets the criteria of the so-called polysensory teaching, which is especially important in the education of people with impaired senses.
Entrepreneurial attitudes are shaped to a different extent at many levels of education. Unfortunately, programs, methods and tools prepared to shape entrepreneurial attitudes are developed for recipients using all channels of information reception. They often do not take into account the delays and difficulties resulting from the problem of disability. Particularly in this respect, a disadvantaged group are the deaf and hard of hearing, who, due to hearing disorders, often exist on the fringes of social, professional or civic participation. For their lasting and true inclusion, more space should be devoted to entrepreneurship education of deaf and hard of hearing people and to shape their views more in a disadvantaged group. The applicant, noticing the needs in the field of: building the potential of young people, improving key competences, improving the skills necessary in the labor market and improving the quality of education, proposed a project that responds to the educational challenges of the 21st century.
