Skills and knowledge – a tool to raise awareness about people with disabilities

The project aims is to strengthen the capacity, knowledge and skills for a group of 8-10 people with disabilities who will be trained as trainers for awareness about PWDs. This will allow introducing of local community with a social approach to disability, status of persons with disabilities in society and their human rights. This training will teach PWDs to how to train others in similar training courses on disability issues. This project directly contributes to raising awareness about the abilities and capacities of persons with disabilities, encourages their activism and advocate for their representation and interests. Training of trainers will be organized into three modules covering the basic workshops for awareness raising, training design, coaching methodology and skills, including practical work. Trained coaches will receive a certificate after their exam workshops and be able to continue to educate different groups (young people, policy makers, other NGOs and the PWDs) and raise awareness of disability issues.
