The developmentof social and personal skills in mentally handicapped people will increase their chances of equal access to crucial areas of life give them more freedom of choice. In addition, the sensitisation measures - at social partnership level - will promoteacceptance of the permanent integration of mentally handicapped people.

Professionals will be able to actively participate in and support the structural change in the handicapped scenario mentioned in the Commission's report. Through international collaboration, the project will attempt to overcome thenational boundaries within the continuing education system, and achieve an innovative effect on the professional training and care systems of the individual partner countries. The quality of life of handicapped people will be directly and substantially enhanced by their improved integration into the labour market and their reduced social exclusion.
