The strategic partnership among Associació Alba (Spain), Viduskurzeme primary school - development center (Latvia), ROC Noorderpoort (Netherlands), Consorzio Solidarietà Sociale Forlì-Cesena società cooperativa sociale (Italy), Inspire - Eden and Razzett Foundation (Malta) and Universitatea Nationala de Educatie Fizica si Sport din Bucharesti (Romania) - organizations that, among other things, work to meet the needs of people with disabilities and/or special needs - seeks to encourage cooperation, exchange of good practices and exploitation of synergies in order to solve a common problem in all of them: the low participation of young people with disabilities and/or special needs in community-based organisations. Thus, the project seeks to promote the creation of links between partner organizations and community-based organisations; to boost the professional development of certain professionals of the partner organizations in order to activate community cooperation initiatives; to train young people to meet their own needs; and to establish a transnational network composed of specialists in the field of disability with a complementary, multidisciplinary and sustainable nature.Some of the partner organizations belong to the educational sector and others to the youth sector, but networking with the local community is fundamental in the structure of all of them when it comes to serve part of the group they work with. Therefore, the project establishes for each of the six organizations to send a delegation composed of two professionals to the headquarters of one of the respective partners based on the characteristics and interests of the parties so that they acquire certain knowledge and subsequently can use it back home. In addition, CIVIC also contemplates the development of a joint training course combined with networking activities - with the participation of two members of each of the partner organizations - with the aim of training certain professionals and promoting the creation and/or strengthening of synergies among all partner organizations.Concerning the methodology used to guarantee the success of the project, special emphasis is placed on a selection process based on skills and motivations, a regular and efficient communication flow between the parties involved and the exchange of good practices through observation, training and networking. CIVIC intends to produce a relevant impact mainly on participants, on partner organisations and their members - young people with disabilities and/or special needs - and on the corresponding local communities. This impact is expected to appear as an exchange of knowledge, skills, perspectives and points of view and to be materialized through increased youth participation, revitalization and development of community life.In addition, the project is also expected to produce cross-cutting results through a three-year transnational cooperation plan between partner organizations. In the long term, we are sure that an adequate development of the project will contribute to the achievement of the strategic objectives that the six organizations have. In addition, we hope that the example of the participants will become a stimulus for other workers in the field of education and/or youth to be encouraged to participate in similar transnational mobility projects.
