Living in a community doesn’t imply being socially included. Social inclusion means that people have a sense of belonging and acceptance within their communities as well as that they can participate actively in community life and that their roles are valued. Still, nowadays, there exist a large number of people with special needs that do not have this “sense of belonging” and lack opportunities to access activities they prefer; to learn or develop relationships with others and work. The project was born from the common desire of the partners of this project to offer to youth worker knowledge and competence to work in youth field for the social inclusion of people with disabilities in order to give them the possibility to involve themselves more in society and interact with one another despite their disabilities. The idea of our project is strictly related to the article 8 “Awareness-raising” section 2.b of the UN CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: Promoting awareness-training programmes regarding persons with disabilities and the rights of persons with disabilities. The main objectives of this training course are: - To give the participant the possibilities to acquire the right terminology in the field of disabilities in order to properly work with the final target group; - To know EU normative regarding people with disabilities; - To explain disabilities from different perspectives, depending on the type of disabilities and methods of communication; - To let the participants, share their countries’ experiences regarding disabilities, push and pull factors; - To shed some light on the unjust treatment of people with disabilities based on their difficulties in order to explain the underlying reasons behind this treatment; - To reach the understanding that people with disabilities are not only seekers of help, but individuals capable of providing and improving their environment; - To discover different approaches of non-formal education in order to support young people to effectively use NFE in their local contexts for the integration of people with disabilities; - To learn International Sign in order to be able to communicate with D/deaf people; - To the promotion of social inclusion within society; - To understand better issues that surround a healthy lifestyle and youth disability. We believe that our project targets both the objectives of the Erasmus+ program and national priorities. In fact, above all, this project targets youth workers who want to improve their competences in working with people with disabilities including youth worker with disabilities themselves. Thus, we strongly believe that this training falls under the Erasmus+ national priorities: - better quality of their work and activities in favour of students, trainees, apprentices, pupils, adult learners, young people, and volunteers by giving youth worker instrument to the involvement of the person with disabilities in their work; - increased ability to address the needs of the disadvantaged by providing information on how to work with people with disabilities; - increased support for and promotion of mobility activities for learners by involving youth worker including those with disabilities in this mobility, - improved foreign language competences by learning International Sign Language.
