In the framework of #ErasmusPlus program, PVN Albania in liaison with “Bashkia Lushnje” are implementing the project #INCLUDE.
The aim of the project is to reduce #inequalities and #socialexclusion of visually impaired young people (VIP) through their participatory involvement in public institutions.
From the beginning of the project, five young participants 👥 with visual impairment from each partner country will be included.
They will follow and be involved throughout the project and its implementation and gaining skills on how to:
  • learn to communicate effectively and to transmit information in such a way as to develop and improve social relationships.
  • develop new digital skills and will learn to use ICT tools in order to engage in virtual and blended activities;
  • balance their social rights with their responsibilities;
  • know how to work in groups/teamwork;
  • have increased confidence and self-belief, exercise positive career choices and have greater involvement and responsibility in the future;
  • understand the need of a greener and more sustainable environment and they will learn ways to support this imperative global trend;
  • understand better social and cultural diversity;
  • improve foreign language skills;
  • expand their knowledge about other cultures, breaking down stereotypes and increasing their awareness of other European countries and traditions (including here oversea territories);
  • gain more information about the public policies regarding social inclusion, the Erasmus+ Programme, the Youthpass and its benefits.
  •  learn new ways of independent living and efficient ways to interact with relevant public institutions, in order to develop procedures and policies regarding a more inclusive and accessible community;
  • become ambassadors of their marginalized peers in their own community;

 

The 5 are the target direct group that during the project will become a consultative and informative group that will collaborate with local decision makers. To achieve this goal, they will use🧑‍💻 social media as a tool by becoming social influencers.
