Co-Funded through the European Union’s

Erasmus+ Programme- Key Action 2 Cooperation

and innovation for good practices- the

project aims mainly at promoting social and work

inclusion, active citizenship and participation to

learning among young people with intellectual

disabilities.

The project includes both public and

private institutions in the field of education,

social, training, research and work inclusion areas

with significant skills and experiences and

belonging to 8 EU countries where inclusion

issues are relevant. It originates from the

evidence of a cross-cutting difficulty at EU level in

the field of training and work inclusion paths

addressed to young people with intellectual

disabilities.The need for alternative models able

to promote the disadvantaged persons

participating to learning, the quality in delivering

the services through the updating of the

competencies of the personnel dealing with this

target, the involvement of enterprises at the

beginning of the training and work inclusion

pathways appear as key factors in

their social inclusion.

The project’s basic idea is that it is

necessary to upset the processes for developing

training and work inclusion paths addressed to

young people with intellectual disabilities, by

identifying and involving the employing

companies since thebeginning of the work

project is innovative.
