By implementing the 'Need for Lead' project, we aimed to achieve several key objectives: Mental Adaptation Support: Enhance the mental adaptation of family members of people with disabilities to help them cope with challenges more effectively. Digital Skills Training: Provide knowledge on working online and digital skills to our target group, enabling them to participate in the digital economy. Improved Inclusion: Foster inclusion in Europe, reducing the gap between society and people with disabilities and their families. Flexible Adult Education: Contribute to making adult education more flexible and improving digital education opportunities. Awareness Raising: Increase awareness about European funds, Erasmus+ opportunities, and lifelong learning.
The 'Need for Lead' project addresses the urgent needs related to digital transformation and the inclusion of persons with disabilities and theis famiy members, in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated challenges for marginalized groups, particularly families of people with disabilities, leading to job losses, economic hardship, and mental health issues. Additionally, the war in Ukraine shifted our focus from just post-COVID to broader crises. Our project aimed to develop a Guide for the mental adaptation of family members and designed and provided training on online professions, fostering an inclusive digital future. We seek to bridge the gap between people with disabilities and the broader community through digital technologies, enhancing online employability, digital education, and overall inclusion. Aligned with Erasmus+ 2021-2027 priorities, this project directly addresses European community needs. By improving the well-being of family members of people with disabilities, we contribute to community economic growth and mental health, ultimately leading to happier lives for all involved.
