Objectives

This project involved youth workers from 8 different organisations, creating a mixed abilities group where, through a non formal education based training, participants acquired the knowledge and skills needed to creating accessible and inclusive activities for those with diverse abilities and/or in social exclusion risk. The main tool for this accessibility was universal design: the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size or ability. Furthermore, this project was also directly related with the development of the ETS competences on youth workers, supporting the recognition of their learnings through Youthpass, and promoting a more inclusive European youth work. The objectives set for this project were: - To develop competences on participants on designing educational activities and/or programmes with an inclusive approach for those with diverse abilities and/or in social exclusion risk, based in universal design principles. - To raise awareness on the importance of needs analysis and needs centred approach when planning educational activities for this target group, in order to create inclusive and accessible learning environments, leaving behind their own bias. - To understand the learning processes in mix abilities groups, as well as when working with youngsters in social exclusion risk, and develop knowledge, attitudes and skills to facilitate the learning process and the interaction between participants.
