"The project is based on the underlying principle that considers all individuals as subjects of rights.However, social inclusion and full participation of people with intellectual disability are not yet a reality, but a future challenge. Currently they are recipients of aid and must become active contributors to the common good, offering their experiences, reflections, and their voices. Hence, global citizenship and civic engagement of adults with intellectual disabilities needs to become a European imperative, because the most egalitarian societies benefit everyone.This project has as GENERAL OBJECTIVE:- To raise awareness of young adults with intellectual disabilities (18 to 30) on their rights and common social issues to strengthen their active citizenship and civic engagement.The SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES of the project during the two years envisioned include:- To enable young adults with intellectual disabilities in acquiring and developing key competences and skills to strengthen their civic engagement in the European democratic life.- To improve isolation of young adults with intellectual disabilities so they can take an active role in society.- To train trainers and staff members on how to promote active citizenship and civic engagement of young adults with intellectual disabilities.- To develop an international network to promote lifelong learning and to improve the quality of life and effectiveness of citizenship experiences of young adults with intellectual disabilities.DIRECT TARGET GROUPS:- Young adults with intellectual disabilities (18 to 30).- Staff members and trainers.INDIRECT TARGET GROUPS: - Other stakeholders (adult trainers, counsellors, teachers, university academics/researchers, social educators, third sector agents, etc.).- Political opinion-leaders and decision-makers (Town halls, national parliaments, ombudsmen, etc.).
