PROJECTS
Good Job! aims to support the transition of young people with learning disabilities and difficulties from school to adulthood and employment. The projects enables educators to identify the potential and difficulties in young people, then empowers them as Transition Mentors to support the young people through coaching and mentoring and finally reaches out and facilitates sustainable and inclusive transition policies between vocational and school education institutions and socially responsible employers.
Parents United project is a 24-month project with 5 partners from 5 countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, France, and Spain) that aim to promote holistic sexuality education, capable of providing scientific information, fostering the development of behaviours matured from the information learned and attitudes favourable to building just societies.
In fact, the project wants to develop parents' knowledge and communication skills and to change their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviour towards sex education with their children to assess comfortable behaviour and interaction patterns with their children and to avoid neglecting opportunities for children with disabilities to achieve greater autonomy and quality behavioural development.
MOVE & ACT
Due to the social distance and isolation that has occurred over the past two years as a result of the pandemic, many young people have sought to stay in touch with other peers and have used art and digital technologies as a means to interact and express themselves.
In addition, the often precarious nature of creative work has made artists and cultural professionals particularly vulnerable to the economic surges triggered by the pandemic. Thus the need for new entrepreneurial ventures has emerged.
The project aims at 3 objectives:
1. Develop artistic and digital skills for young people living in marginalized conditions.
2. Creation of a youth network that provides entrepreneurial tools, develops a sense of belonging and self-esteem, common interest in visual arts
3. Providing opportunities for youth to have their voices heard on personal or community challenges through participation in a competition.
MAKE IT WORK:
supporting D/deaf young people into work
The MAKE IT WORK project will develop project results – tools and training materials – designed to provide access to employment regulations in an inclusive and accessible way for d/Deaf young job seekers. With the products of the project, d/Deaf young job seekers will be able to access employment information in sign language and accessible written forms to use in their daily working lives.
They will have digital resources in sign language at their fingertips which they can refer to in their own time, replay and repeat, and consult without outside help – in other words, they can use the project outputs to exercise self-determination in their employment relationships and working lives. At the same time, provide training and materials for a youth workers to give them the instrument to support the social and professional inclusion of the young d/Deaf job seeker.
