Project ref. no. 2022-3-RO01-KA154-YOU-000094903
project financed by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union

The consortium of 6 partners is implementing the first main international activity of the Inclusive Decisions (IncluDe) Youth Participation initiative. It is going to be an international activity in Curacao, “Empowering Participation”, financed by the European Union and developed by Asociatia Babilon Travel in partnership with with The Social and Medical Services Directorate Cluj (Romania), Ministry of Social Developments, Labour, and Welfare of Curacao, Fundashon Pro Bista (Curacao), Projekte Vullnetare Nderkombetare (Albania) and Municipality of Lushnje (Albania).

The activity aims to increase social inclusion and accessibility of visually impaired young people (VIP) through their participatory involvement in public institutions. It focus on empowering Visually Impaired youngsters to develop valuable skills and knowledge based on fundamental values such as inclusion, accessibility, equity, education through active participation, access to culture, democracy, and human rights. This initiative will enable participants to enhance their mobility, promote independent living, and ensure their human rights capacity.

To achieve its objectives, Empowering Participation will bring together 15 participants, 5 young VIP from each partner country, and 3 decision makers (1/country), where to share their experiences as social influencers and ambassadors for their VIP peers. This will foster collaboration between the youth and decision makers.

All the activities are held in the Erasmus+ spirit and are based on non-formal education methods and tools in an inclusive and adapted way, considering the presence of visually impaired/blind participants (study visits, working groups, debriefings, free discussions, workshops, teambuilding exercises, energizers, reflections, presentations etc.).
