The main objectives of this project were the following: - To help the integration of people with disabilities into the world of work and to promote the development of skills and abilities through the stone sector. - To raise awareness in education with learning phases in order to implement a series of steps, results that guarantee a good impact on the target group and a sustainable effect over time. - Sensitise and create awareness in the companies of the sector about the recruitment of people with disabilities. - Providing employers with mechanisms to adapt workspaces to people with physical or motor disabilities. - Encourage diversity in a sector as traditional as the stone sector, thus facilitating the promotion and awareness of equality at all levels. - Provide support tools for the development of actions that enable the inclusion of people in vulnerable situations in the labour market, adapted to the digital transformation and focused on distance learning. - Provide information, increase the strengths in labour inclusion and redefine the weaknesses. - To provide digital training adapted to the current situation so that no person is left behind and to face the challenges that conventional training currently presents.
