With this project;Manisa Guidance and Research Center (GRC) staff in particular, including,Special Education Teachers working in GRC and Psychological Counselor/Guidance Teachers, teachers working in the field of Special Education, parents of disabled individuals, in all districts, a total of 3,042 disabled students in order to overcome the problems related to sexual development is aimed to make training and Information Studies.As part of the development of sexual changes and developments, especially in the transition to adolescence manifests itself. Sexual problems that are transmitted to us both by families of adolescents with mental disabilities applied to our institution and that are seen in the social life that we observe from time to time during the diagnosis process and the social activities that they participate in and in the home life are attracting attention. In adolescents with mental retardation, the concept of special zone is not fully seated, in social environments, special areas of touch or others, inappropriate speech, such as contact is often faced with situations. In addition, this behavior makes individuals with special education more vulnerable to abuse poses another important danger. In such cases, the lack of sufficient theoretical and practical knowledge to properly inform and direct the disabled individual and his / her family leads to inadequate solutions to the problems experienced. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to educate the educators working in our institution who are at the beginning of the process with the diagnosis of specially trained individuals on sexual education of mentally handicapped individuals in adolescence and to meet the deficiencies and needs of both the other field employees and the parents and students in this field.Guidance and special education teachers participating in the project will plan training seminars and carry out exemplary activities in special education schools and other guidance and research centers outside the Central District, which are equivalent institutions providing education and training in the area of special education throughout the province after EU field visits and studies. In this sense, they will contribute to both the professional and personal development. With the work to be done, it is aimed to change both at the level of students and parents and teachers. At the same time, change and development of educational institutions will be an example to other institutions. ACTIVITIES1.

There is a serious exclusion in the workplace towards people who have a disability, such as autism spectrum disorder. Therefore, the ASPALI team of professionals thought of creating an alternative, through a system that respects the pace of learning and improves the employability of these people, offering them, not only to contribute to society, but new opportunities in their lives that allow them to feel more fulfilled. As a collective with the capacity to work, they must seek to channel the full potential of people with Asperger Syndrome, specializing in tasks that fit their profile, and in which they stand out for their qualities. In addition, it is considered important to incorporate continuous training to be updated in the field of new technologies, sector where the demand for employment grows. Despite high unemployment, there are a number of essential characteristics that define ASD people. They are elements of great value in the workplace, and that is an advantage for the development of certain jobs (Howlin et al., 2004). For example, traits such as meticulousness, focus on what motivates them, attention to details, honesty, analytical thinking, creativity, preference for routine, memory, good skills in mechanical and repetitive tasks that require A high level of concentration makes people with ASD excellent candidates for positions that require tasks related to detail and rescission.On the other hand, you generally have to work and train with these people, all those social skills involved, not only in the acquisition of a job, but in the maintenance of this. The conventions and social norms in the works, the hierarchy, the time in the breaks, the management of conflicts, resolution of problems, personal image, as it is the relation with the companions ... etc., But also, how to carry out searches of effective work, or how to pass a job interview.Among the elements that make access to employment difficult for people with ASD, apart from their individual characteristics, they include:-The lack of superior training adequate to the characteristics and the way of learning of the ASD people.-School bullying and the social demands of higher educational contexts that favor absenteeism and demotivation.-The difficulty of overcoming job interviews or trial periods, either by not taking into account the characteristics of the ASD people, or by the lack of adequate support or guidance in the performance of new tasks.-The lack of specific programs and resources to promote employment in ASD-The problems in recognizing disability.Therefore, ASPALI together with AIJU, ALP, SCP and IIAPHS will design and develop a platform that will contain an application for mobile, and a Virtual Reality scenario. This proposal and the work of this consortium will be seen in the results that will be generated during the 26 months of duration.First, an ACTION GUIDE FOR THE WORK SEARCH will be generated. In this guide information will be compiled about what companies are looking for when hiring new personnel, what to put in the curriculum, types of job interviews, techniques and methods that can be used, etc. This guide will be fundamental for the achievement of the work in WOTICS.Secondly, the WOTICS APPLICATION will be carried out: it will be an easy access application, where through chatbots, scenarios and situations that we create, the user, in this case children with autism spectrum syndrome (ASD), will be able to deal with complicated situations when looking for a job, or when dealing with real situations that are difficult for them to solve.And finally, WOTICS VIRTUAL will be created, in which it is intended to create a scenario with Virtual Reality, where you have to face a first day of work, with new colleagues, with people in charge, with tasks to perform, etc., and where users will be able to prepare and train for a real situation.The benefit that we hope to achieve is to improve the employment statistics with respect to the ASD people that we currently have. The aim is to empower the group, useful training for real contexts, create an adapted, careful, innovative, motivating learning modality that respects the learning and understanding needs of ASD people. On the other hand, encourage companies to take into account the neurodiversity in their selection processes to create inclusive processes that take into account the values ​​and the adjustment to the posts. In summary, favor the overcoming of personnel selection processes in the ASD population and their labor inclusion through innovative learning.

Expand your Frontiers in High Technical Skills and Public Speaking is a Project dedicated to increase to public speaking competences and reduce public speaking phobia among VET trainers and other teaching professors.The COVID-19 pandemic phenomenon and its ongoing second wave has disrupted nearly every aspect of our lives. Even before the onset of the crisis, public speaking competences of youth was a constant challenge. Now, unless urgent and effective action is taken, young people are likely to suffer from the severe and lasting effects of the pandemic. This has been particularly hard on young women, young migrants and youth in low-income countries. Young people care about the future and their place in it.Epidemiological surveys and statistical manuals of psychopathology (DSM-5, ICD 10) recognize that social phobias has a prevalence of 7% across general population and 13% of had at least one episode. Social phobias affect significantly the work of educators which faces different audiences and public situation in the daily work, reducing significantly their performance at work and satisfaction for life.

"Human trafficking is the MODERN ERA SCLAVIA, whereby some people take advantage of the exploitation of other people.
