PR.E.S.T.O. - PRomoting pEople with diSability Transnational mObility

Description

CONTEXT: Awareness on social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities has been increasing thanks to measures and actions adopted at both National and European levels. The EU promotes the active inclusion and full participation of disabled people in society. Giving them the opportunity to do an internship abroad can represent an important chance to enrich their cv and to present themselves with greater determination in the face of potential employers. Unfortunately, due to lack of specific information regarding the mobility of people with disabilities, many VET providers are led to imagine that having people with disabilities involved in a mobility project entails a great deal of extra work and possible complications. At the same time there is a poor connection between the world of VET organizations and that of NGOs focused on people with disabilities, therefore the number of people with ID engaging in a mobility is still very low.OBJECTIVES: To promote the social inclusion and to facilitate the transition to the labor market of people with intellectual disabilities thanks to their involvement in transnational mobilities: •define a set of standards and tools for the design of transnational mobility paths for people with intellectual disabilities (ID);•update the skills of VET providers in the design of transnational mobility projects involving people with ID;•promote the involvement of people with ID in international mobility paths;•promote the collaboration between VET providers, hosting SMEs and NGOs for the social inclusion of people with ID.TARGET: VET providers, managers, projects designers; people with mild intellectual disabilities and their families;ACTIVITES:A1 Project managementA2 Monitoring & EvaluationA3 DisseminationA4 Impact assessmentO1: PR.E.S.T.O.
