Inclusive Mobility VET

<< Objectives >>With this project we aim to contribute to more inclusive mobilities for VET students with disabilities. We gain insight into the needs and barriers they face before, during and after their mobility and raise awareness on the opportunities for improvement. We also increase the knowledge and skills of VET professionals for supporting these students. Lastly, we provide accessible information and share experiences of other students to lower the barriers for students to start a mobility experience. << Implementation >>We start by researching the needs and barriers of students by conducting interviews and a desk analysis. The outcomes will be used to create a toolkit for professionals with a self assessment and guidelines. Two Learning Teaching Training Activities with students and professionals will be dedicated to create and test the toolkit. Also, based on the outcomes of the research on students’ needs, we will create accessible information on mobilities for students with disabilities.<< Results >>We expect to increase awareness of professionals of VET schools and of regional, national and European stakeholders on the importance of inclusive mobility programmes in VET schools and needs of students with disabilities in these programmes. Also, VET professionals will have a better understanding of opportunities for improving their mobility programmes and more knowledge on how to do so. Lastly, new communication and information materials for students will take away barriers to go abroad.
