Project Summary

Youth with disabilities are one of the most marginalized and excluded groups of youth, experiencing widespread violations of their rights. Discrimination arises not as a result of the intrinsic nature of young person disability, but rather, as a consequence of lack of understanding and knowledge of its causes and implications, fear of difference, fear of contagion or contamination, or negative religious or cultural views of disability. It is further compounded by poverty, social isolation, humanitarian emergencies, lack of services and support, and a hostile and inaccessible environment. Too often, youth with disabilities are defined and judged by what they lack rather than what they have. Their exclusion and invisibility serves to render them uniquely vulnerable, denying them respect for their dignity, their individuality, even their right to life itself.

Project ‘’Tools for Social Development-Volume II’’ is follow up of two projects ”Tools for Social Development” which main aim was capacity building of youth organizations on how to integrate different drama and theatre tools and methods in social inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities, on the other side the main aim of project ”Let speak about disability” was to build capacities of organizations on how to involve more young people with disabilities on their mobility projects. During the realization of the project ”Let speak about disability” trainers team noticed that there is great lack of methods and tools adapted to the work with young people with disabilities.

In that regard, this project aim was to build capacities of youth workers on how to work with young people with disabilities (YPWD) including groups of youth with mixed abilities, providing them with different drama and theatre tools and methods. Moreover, we did manual based on one week training activities with YPWD focused on use of different artistic methods and tools and this manual is published on line, with a goal to serve as tool to be used by other youth workers, trainers, facilitators, school educators…

This project had two activities:

I– TC took place from 01 to 08 December 2017 in Vrnjacka Banja, Central Serbia. Project involved 10 people with disabilities coming from: Romania, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia and Spain. Since we aimed at having group of participants with mixed abilities we had 10 participants without disabilities coming from Serbia, Portugal, France, Greece and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Moreover, this project did active promotion of mobility projects that involves young people with disabilities.
