Objective
THINK - Towards Handicap Integration Negotiating Knowledge - is a project that takes into account the many difficulties faced by the physically handicapped in accomplishing full professional integration. Using the methods made available by the new Information and Communication Technologies, mainly through telework, it aims to develop their capabilities, market their services and achieve full professional integration. Key terms are to become productive, profitable and self-sufficient. The main objective is to benefit the social and economic insertion of 300 disabled persons in 29 months in areas such as accounting, translations, word processing, web design, programming and technical assistance for computer systems. The reasoning behind THINK implementation is the broader geographical application of PORCIDE, providing a new perspective of life to the Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Scottish, Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian disabled participants, following a recommendation of the European Council, which envisages a guiding program of the rehabilitation and integration in favour of the disabled persons. [Recommendation R (92) adopted by the Ministers Committee of the European Council in 9 April 1992]. Through partnerships with companies based in those countries and multinationals, TELEMANutenção envisages to export this innovative concept of work environment, conjugating technology and socio-economic concerns, resulting in a transnational revolutionary project. The large corporate companies have a fundamental role in the process, since they will be a significant part of the future clients. THINK features an integrated and flexible approach to the countries participating, enhancing the opportunities for co-operation, showing that telework has no geographical boundaries and that any company or individual, no matter the physical location, has potential to compete and to co-operate nationally as well as internationally.
