Although the problems of the disabled differ according to the geography and culture they live in, 2 factors are considered important in solving them: 1) that the society in which disabled people live has a high level of disability awareness, and 2) that disabled people feel that they have access to equal opportunities to participate in social life. Our project contributes to the social integration of the disabled. The partners strengthen the cooperation between countries and share successful practices regarding the disabled. Disability awareness training will be given to municipal staff who will carry out activities to increase the disability awareness of the people in the future. "Sports Services Module" and "Culture and Art Services Module" containing disability policies for municipalities will eliminate the differences and provide balance between European municipalities in implementations of the disabled. We aim to increase the disability awareness rate of all employees in municipalities, the ratio of the municipalities with vocational training for the disabled and finally the proportion of disabled people participating in sports, culture and arts activities.
The globalization process in the world has become impossible to meet the social needs of societies only by the central government therefore the "social municipalism" mission undertaken by the municipalities today becomes more and more important. The development and dissemination of social service (disabled) policies to be established by local governments will allow disabled people to live in a safe and happy environment. With our project activities, we needed to increase the ratio of the disabled-aware staff of our municipalities, to reduce the rate of personnel in need of vocational training for the disabled, to increase the capacity of the social, cultural and sports services we provide to the disabled. Also we wanted increase the access of disabled people to sports, cultural, artistic etc. organizations and services, and to contribute to the applicability of the disabled strategies of the EU by transforming the practices into the establishment policy of European Municipalities and making them systematic. We aimed to provide social inclusion for disabled people, produce establishment policies that will increase their access to arts, culture and sports services, and to support disabled people gaining national and EU affiliation
