25-30/07/2016 - Seminar: Let's speak about disability (Montenegro)

The Erasmus + Youth in Action program created great impact on numbers of young people all over Europe, developing young people’s competences, self confidence and offering the unique international experience. Being aware of this amazing opportunity that Erasmus + Youth in Action program offer and provide possibilities for mobility of young people with fewer opportunities on one hand but on the other hand young people with disabilities still have very limited access to these opportunities, they are not so visible on trainings, youth exchanges or EVS (European Voluntary Service). There are various reasons for this kind of exclusion: being in a vulnerable situation (social barriers, lacking family support, poverty, limited qualifications, unemployment, inaccessibility of environment and limited access to information). Also most of the hosting organizations/ youth works/ trainers don’t have enough capacities (knowledge and experiences) to develop programs and activates that can be accessible for everyone including people with disabilities.

With this project we want to train youth peers, youth workers and trainers providing them competences to work with people with disabilities and to recognize their potentials and talents to lead them to fulfillment of their life and dreams. According to that we start with the first activity of this project and that's seminar in one of the most beautiful areas of the Montenegrin coast - Bar Riviera.

The objectives of the seminar are:
- To provide a platform for discussion and exchange of good practice based on theoretical inputs about inclusion of young people with disabilities;
- To build and/or strength between partnership organizations in EU and partner countries;
- To create bridges of cooperation among partners;
- To format thematic network providing information of social inclusion to all interested parties for the purpose to improve participant's level of competences and fostering social inclusion in society;
- To developing new forms of youth work;
- To develop future cooperative projects and exchanges in Erasmus+, involving young people with disabilities;
