We also have lesser opportunities in education, work and all other social activities. That is not a problem that we use wheelchairs to get along or can’t see anything. It is a problem that society doesn’t cover our needs.
How?
The all programme of the training course will be organised as learning through practicing. What does it mean? The participants will have the possibility to choose methods by themselves and work to adapt them ->
- Get theoretical knowledge (what you can do to make methods suitable for “everybody”, what are the problems and how to solve them, as people are different and their needs are different).
- Use the group and the new/old knowledge to adapt your chosen methods.
- “Play” adapted versions; analyze the results, correct, share, etc.
Also it will be possibility to get some theoretical and practical knowledge about accessibility and accessibility in the projects, express your experience about projects you already have made, get in touch with Independent Living and what does it means.
Training course will be facilitated by two facilitators, which are experts in Independent Living/ Accessibility for disabled people. As well there will be possibility to get in touch with experts, who are using wheelchairs or other support equipments in their daily life, etc.
There will be also possibility to get information about EU Youth In Action programme, make new contacts for Future Corporation, and learn other cultures via lot of interesting activities. (See the programme of training course). At the end adapted methods will be collected and published.
