Objective Despite increasingly elaborate healthcare and supervision systems, disabled people in our developed countries encounter real problems of socio-economic integration. The project partners have found in the course of their practical experience that computer systems adapted to overcome the restrictions suffered by disabled people promote their independence and career prospects. The aim of the project is therefore to synergise the partners' know-how to enable the joint development of distance training sites for isolated disabled children, as well as of supervised initial training and qualification programmes and self-study aids.The partners' network will facilitate the development of a shared training methodology, which will be tested on an appropriate target group during the development process. A database will be set up simultaneously to enable other European organisations to promote such initiatives by using the project partners' needs-analysis and tools. ImpactImproved social and career prospects for disabled people through the use of computers to provide training and facilitate social integration.Contract number : F/96/1/05328/PI/I.1.1.e/CONTDomaine : Life long learningContents : Disadvantaged people Access to vocational training Technological transferProducts : Methodologies for analysing training needs Selftraining Computer/electronic-based materials Public : Disabled persons Disadvantaged groups Trainers, designers & managers of training programmes Programme(s) ET-LEONARDO DA VINCI 1 - Action programme for the implementation of a European Community vocational training policy Leonardo da Vinci, 1995-1999 Topic(s) I.1.1.e - Vocational training arrangements for persons disadvantaged on the labour market Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator HANDICAP INTERNATIONAL EU contribution No data Address 14 Avenue BERTHELOT 69361 Lyon France See on map Total cost No data
