The project was initiated in response to a growing demand in the area of inclusion of people with a disability in local communities, particularly among young people. The applicant, the Institute of Knowledge and Competence, has been committed to the inclusion of vulnerable groups for years, and in 2021 implemented the first edition of an educational campaign under the same name. The success of the campaign, which aimed to counter discrimination and raise awareness of the rights of people with disabilities among secondary school students in Gdynia, prompted the organisation to continue its activities. In 2022, on the recommendation of the Gdynia Health Centre and PFRON, it was decided to extend the campaign to a larger scale, covering the Tri-City and Wejherowo district. The project is part of the activities characterised above. The main objective of the project was to increase public awareness of the real needs of people with disabilities and to promote their active participation in social life. The project aimed to break down stereotypes and prejudices associated with disabilities and to promote attitudes of empathy and understanding. These objectives were pursued through a range of educational and social activities aimed at young people, including workshops, information meetings, promotional activities and community project competitions. In addition, the project adopted the following objectives: 1.To raise awareness of disability among young people - workshops led by young people with a disability certificate were aimed at educating their peers about different types of disability, mechanisms of social exclusion and the rights of people with disabilities. 2.Promoting pro-social attitudes and empathy - through the direct involvement of young people in project activities, participants had the opportunity to learn cooperation, problem solving and teamwork, which was expected to contribute to the development of their social competences and pro-social attitudes. 3.Strengthening soft competences and practical skills - the project participants, both workshop leaders and participants, had the opportunity to acquire skills such as public speaking, project planning, time management and the basics of savoir-vivre in dealing with people with disabilities. 4.Support for grassroots initiatives and community involvement - the project involved the organisation of a competition for youth social projects that aimed to support the integration of people with disabilities in local communities. The best projects received funding for implementation, which enabled young people to put their ideas into practice. The activities planned in the application were carried out according to the planned schedule: -As part of the project, 25 three-day workshops were conducted in secondary schools in the Tri-City area, attended by a total of 437 students (more than assumed in the application), their participants gained knowledge about different types of disabilities, rights of persons with disabilities, savoir-vivre in everyday contacts with peers with a disability certificate. -The young people participating in the project (20 members of the youth project group) were actively involved in running the workshops, which contributed to their personal development and increased sense of social responsibility. Through the project, the young people learned to cooperate, solve problems and carry out pro-social activities. The workshops and promotional activities helped to increase empathy and understanding among young people, which had a direct impact on improving relations between peers with and without disabilities. As a result of a competition for community projects, the three best initiatives received funding and were implemented under the guidance of mentors and experts from the Institute for Knowledge and Competence. The projects were aimed at supporting the integration of people with disabilities and creating spaces for their active participation in society. The implemented project was a success, which can be measured in both quantitative and qualitative terms. Its implementation had an impact on increasing the social awareness of 437 teenagers about the needs of their peers with a disability status and, consequently, on changing the attitudes of the young people participating in the activities (437 teenagers) and on increasing their social participation through the implementation of specific activities for people with disabilities as part of youth projects in schools. A key element of success was the involvement of young people at every stage of the project, from planning to implementation to evaluation. To ensure the sustainability of the results of the proj., the Institute of Knowledge and Competence has undertaken a number of activities including the implementation of a project subsidised by the WP ROP 2021-2027, in which young people and staff are developing a good practice script ‘Don't DISS my ability!’.
