“Standard Protocol Procedure ” – a training course for organisations and young people, youth leaders, trainers and future trainers, who would like to get practical and theoretical knowledge, what to take into account and how to adapt your non formal learning methods, if there is a person with disability taking part in your seminar, training course or youth exchange. As everybody has the right to participate in projects, where ever she/he wants and not only gets accessible accommodation, information and so on, but also take fully part in all activities. In fact there are many people around nowadays, that talk about accessibility, but mostly they tell you what you should, we will show you – how!!! As there are different types of impairments and there are different disabilities around, it would need some years to discover all of them, that’s why this training course will focus on wheelchair users, blind and visually impaired people, persons with disabilities, who are able to walk! But if you are interested in something particular, don’t hesitate to contact us and we will find the solution!
Why?
The one of the priorities of Youth in Action program is facilitating participation in the Program by young people with fewer opportunities, including young people with disabilities. Under specific objectives goes contributing to the improvement of information for young people, while paying special attention to the access of young people with disabilities and promoting the fundamental values of the EU among young people, in particular respect for human dignity, equality, and respect for human rights, tolerance and non-discrimination. Disabled people have the same rights to participate in projects they want as all other people. It doesn’t matter, if the person is sitting in wheelchair or is visually impaired or blind. Unfortunately young people with disabilities mainly are not able to participate in mainstream seminars, training courses, youth exchanges, etc. because of the luck of the accessibility (accessible accommodation, seminar rooms, personal assistance, information, methods and so on). Independent Living Austria was organizing training course about accessibility in projects 2 years ago and after evaluations, discussions between trainers, organizers and partners, it crystallized out, that there is need of one more training course. This time about accessibility in methods we all use during our seminars, training courses, and youth exchanges, etc. It will still lead to exclusion and discrimination, if person with disability can’t participate in all activities, because the chosen methods are not suitable for him/her. Real accessible projects are expensive projects, but adapting the methods, we usually use, doesn’t cost so much + it opens the possibility for young people with disabilities to enter mainstream projects. To make it possible for young people with disabilities to participate in projects as to everybody else, there is needed to create not only accessible projects (accommodations, seminar rooms, food, information, support stuff, etc.), but also adapt methods, that they fit also to the needs of the participants with disabilities. What really means accessible methods? We usually change and adapt methods for our activities, but it’s totally different, if in your group is person with disability. There is a lot of information around, how accessible methods should look like, but almost nothing, how to do it. This training course will be the possibility for organizations, young people, trainers and future trainers to learn and practice, how to adapt methods, that also young people with disabilities can take part in mainstream activities. Ass well, it will be possible to see, how the accessible project looks like in general in reality. In general this training course will be focused on getting to know, how to adapt non formal learning methods for “everybody”, that people with disabilities also can join in your future projects ion frames of EU Youth In Action programme. By making methods accessible, we are one step closer to antidiscrimination and inclusion. The Independent Living movement sees disability neither as a medical nor a social problem. It is also not an individual problem of disabled people. Disability is a political problem and the topics on stake are discrimination, oppression, paternalism and social exclusion. These are the living conditions for disabled people even in democratic states. We are confronted with non accessible environment, restrictions in mobility and non accessible transport systems.
