The key objectives of the programme were: -To provide vocational training to our volunteers, staff and trainees -To recognise and increase the skills and qualifications of our members -To promote innovative methods of person-centered approach that meet the unique needs of each individual -To increase the capacity of our staff and volunteers to support and respect the needs of people who are unable to advocate for their rights -To increase opportunities and prospects for career and personal development -To recognise the importance of non-formal and informal learning through collaboration and the dissemination of best practices . All these objectives are adapted and compatible with the structure, nature, objectives and size of our organisation.
A key area of LCYouth's activities is social inclusion and the protection of the rights of people with disabilities. We aim to promote equal opportunities, acceptance of diversity, European issues and youth. Our organisation promotes activities in order to give young people the opportunity to develop skills, to volunteer and to gain knowledge in areas related to creativity and social cohesion. In addition, LCYouth supports a special program called "Transition service" that trains young adults with disabilities in life skills and vocational training programs, with the aim of their holistic social integration. This project is perfectly in line with the educational goals and visions of the organization. The activities provided knowledge and skills to different levels and target groups (people with disabilities, Trainers, Volunteers ). The ultimate goal was to develop skills, but also learn new methodologies and innovative ideas and practices in order to work more efficiently with people with disabilities and support them for an independent life. The participants gained new knowledge and skills in order to create a culture of change, inclusion and acceptance.
