Vision
All individuals are subjects of rights. However, social inclusion and full participation of people with intellectual disability are not yet a reality, but a future challenge.
Global citizenship and civic engagement of adults with intellectual disabilities need to become a European imperative, because the most egalitarian societies benefit everyone.
Mission
The main goal of this project is to raise awareness of young adults with intellectual disabilities on their rights and common social issues to strengthen their active citizenship and civic engagement.
DIRECT TARGET GROUPS:
- young adults with intellectual disabilities
- 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.).
