Mixed-ability Training Course for Inclusion of Young People with Disabilities

Barrier-free Society and Youth Association will organize a training course on 31 October – 7 November 2015 for youth workers 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 this European mobility programmes. One out of seven people has some form of disability, but this percentage is not reached amongst young people benefiting from Erasmus+ programme.
The aim of this training course is to train youth workers to think more inclusively and to involve young people with disabilities in their activities and projects. Our target group is youth workers who are interested and motivated to work on disability issues. It is a mixed-ability projects where peers with and without a disability have an experience together and learn from each other. At the end of the training course, we believe we will stimulate the participation of young people with disabilities to youth activities and projects and it will be a life-changing experience for many of our trainees.
The methods of the training course are based on non-formal education. It will be used peer-learning, field visit games, talks, simulations, and other non-formal methods to reach our aim and objectives. We will have 8 different kinds of partners in this project from different experiences, and backgrounds. In this seminar, we will be 32 people, from 9 different counties.
