Objectives

By implementing this project we wanted: - to train at least 3 the LNB Youth organization youth workers; - to create an independent branding for the LNB youth organization; - attract people with sight disability form Latvia to LNB Youth organization; - to show youngsters the importance of education on a way of successful employment and career by visiting different educational organizations and employers; - to improve informal learning methods that support formal leaning in both organizations; - to create a list of professional and adult education programme list that is reviewed by accessibility to people with sight disability.

Background

This project was planned due to multiple reasons and needs: 1) employability issue among people with sight disability; 2) importance of education in employability and career development; 3) a need to develop LNB Youth organization and train youth workers. Both partners discussed the needs and decided that this project could be step forward to solve them. During the project implementation Muhu partners trained LNB Youth organization's youth workers by providing them with knowledge and adaptive materials and methods they could use in future. During project activities, especially youth exchange, participants form both organizations got to visit different educational organizations and participate in workshops with experts, as well as explore their own potential career development and employability with and without higher, professional or adult education. Other activities were aimed at adults with sight disability, where we recorded podcast series talking about education, higher education, employability and technical assistance available for work and studies, as well as created a list of reviewed professional and adult education programmes, where people can learn about accessibility for bling ir visually impaired student.
