With this project, we set out to empower deaf and deaf-blind young adults (age 18) to plan and experience independent travel outside of Germany. Our main goal was to support them in organizing their own journeys — encouraging autonomy, confidence, and real-world skills in navigating unfamiliar environments. The heart of the project was cultural exchange: meeting people, discovering new perspectives, and exploring how accessibility is approached in different countries. Participants gained first-hand insight into how inclusive other societies are, especially when it comes to access for deaf and deaf-blind individuals. These experiences fostered reflection, awareness, and a deeper understanding of both barriers and possibilities. Financial inclusion was another key pillar. Thanks to Erasmus+ support, we were able to remove economic barriers and create travel experiences that were as inclusive and accessible as possible. Diversity guided our entire approach — from participant selection to the values embedded in the project. We also placed strong emphasis on using sign language, the participants’ natural language. It was not only used throughout the project but also made visible externally, reinforcing the presence and recognition of sign language communities within a European context. In short, the project aimed to make independent travel possible for young deaf and deaf-blind people — travel that is barrier-free, empowering, and meaningful.
