Youth In Progress Austria

We are happy to announce that multi action project “Standard Protocol Procedure” will be carried out from May – December 2016 and I Phase – training course will take place from 17th – 24th July 2016 in Deutschlandsberg, Austria.

The multi action activity will gather 17 active youth leaders, youth workers, trainers from NGO’s and associations involved in youth work from Erasmus+ Program countries from Austria, Slovenia, Romania, Turkey, Macedonia, Greece, Spain and Poland with aim to gain theoretical and practical knowledge, what to take in account and how to adapt your project and/or methods if disabled person is taking part in it. There are many people and information around nowadays, that talk about accessibility, but mostly they tell you what you should do, we want to show you – how!!!

During this project participants will have possibility to get familiar with terminology of accessible youth project/activity, learn how to adapt own non formal learning methods for groups were also disabled participants are in, share their tools and best practices, analyze and evaluate the practical outcomes to be able to use gained skills and knowledge in future work. By making our projects and activities accessible, we are one step closer to antidiscrimination and inclusion.

The project itself will use non formal education methods and it will be based on active participation balancing theoretical input with practical ones (learning by doing, simulations, etc.). As well, it will be possible to see, how the accessible project looks like in general in reality.

PHASES:
1. Training course – will be organized as LEARNING THROUGH PRACTICING and facilitated by 2 trainers who are experts in non formal education and accessibility matters for disabled people and will involve 3 disabled experts to give possibility for more diverse learning.
2. After training course there is planned practical part in participant’s local communities. Participants will need to organize and carry out accessible activity with local young people (mixed group). During this process there will be possibility to get online support from facilitators and experts.
3. Evaluation seminar. During the evaluation seminar participants will meet together again to evaluate the impact generated from both previous activities (especially in own organization and during work with mixed group of young people), own development and define future steps for inclusive/accessible work/activities.
