Good Practice Exchange Seminar on Working with Young People with Disabilities

“Good Practice Exchange Seminar on Working with Young People with Disabilities” is an Erasmus+ KA1 Seminar organized by Barrier-free Society and Youth Association between 25-31 January 2019 in Ankara, Turkey.
Young people with disabilities are affected by discrimination and face additional barriers in most areas of the society. It is also not easy for young people with disabilities to enjoy the opportunities offered by Erasmus+ programme. One out of seven people has some form of disability, but this percentage is not reached amongst young people benefiting from Erasmus+ programme. On the other hand, there are so many good practices on young people with disabilities. The problem often is that we don't know about their existence.
The aim of the seminar is to exchange good practices on working with young people with disabilities to encourage, empower and inspire youth workers. Our target group is youth workers who were involved in working with young people with disabilities projects and would like to share their good practice projects. We will have 30 people from 12 different kinds of partners in this project from different experiences and backgrounds.
The seminar will be based on non-formal education. It will be used exchanging good practices, word cafe, peer-learning, field visits, games, talks, simulations, and other non-formal methods. A good practice guide will be created at the end of the project to disseminate the results to wider people.
