The Training 4 Disabled Trainers 2 Be (T4DT2B) project aims to transform youth work by equipping disabled youth workers with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to become professional trainers. It seeks to break the barriers that prevent disabled individuals from fully participating in youth work training and ensure that inclusion is not just a concept but an active practice embedded in non-formal education. The project has four key objectives from the youth work perspective: 1. Develop an Inclusive & Accessible Trainer Education Program: → Provide disabled youth workers with structured training in facilitation, non-formal education methodologies, and inclusive learning approaches. → Apply Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and assistive technologies to ensure training is accessible to all learning styles and disabilities. → Make training materials (ETS Competence Model, facilitation toolkits) fully accessible (subtitles, sign language interpretation, easy-read formats). 2. Increase Representation & Visibility of Disabled Trainers in Youth Work: → Create a network of inclusive disabled trainers, increasing their visibility in youth work spaces and Erasmus+ projects. → Support disabled trainers in building their professional profiles, securing employment opportunities, and advocating for inclusion. → Ensure that disabled trainers become key actors in designing future Erasmus+ projects, fostering long-term change. 3. Equip Youth Organizations with the Skills & Tools to Ensure Inclusion: → Develop best-practice guidelines for inclusive facilitation and accessible training design. → Train organizations in integrating accessibility principles into their daily work, reducing barriers for disabled youth workers. → Promote a systemic shift where accessibility is embedded in youth work programs rather than being treated as an afterthought. 4. Drive Systemic Change in the Youth Work Sector: → Advocate for better inclusion policies and ensure that disabled trainers have a seat at the table in youth policy discussions but also working opportunities. → Ensure that Erasmus+ projects and youth training programs adopt accessible and inclusive methodologies as a standard. → Influence decision-makers to prioritize accessibility and representation in future youth work policies. This project will not only support the professionalization of disabled youth workers but also help reshape youth work into a more inclusive, diverse, and accessible sector where all aspiring trainers have equal opportunities to participate and lead.
