The project focuses on integrating people with disabilities and promoting full functioning in society. The long-term operation of “Apeirons” has resulted in the development and implementation of a number of licensed non-formal education programmes for people with and without disabilities, as well as professionals working in this field. These programmes include topics such as “principles of Universal Design”, “support for families with a disability”, “Access to the Environment” and other important aspects that promote public openness and accessibility for people with different restrictions. To complement employees' knowledge and skills in dealing with people with severe intellectual disabilities, it was decided to promote the development of their core competencies. This was done by sending the organisation's staff to training in Germany and Spain. These training focused on improving the quality of adult education supply and learning skills to provide tailored services to people with intellectual disabilities. The project reflects the organization's efforts to expand the available educational offer and provide support to people with disabilities by promoting their full integration and receiving appropriate services in Latvia.
