<< Objectives >>The objective of this project is to create a network of European rare disease national entities to design and implement a training process for young people who suffer from these obstacles so they become mentors, guardians, “older siblings” of other youth and children who suffer from the same obstacles -anywhere in Europe-, to guide them virtually so they can develop their self-esteem, learn about their situation and consequences, and discover mechanisms to achieve their full inclusion.<< Implementation >>In order to develop this project, monitoring, quality, and exchange of good practices activities will be carried out, as well as activities for the constitution of a European network, activities for the generation of results, training via non-formal education, pilot tests, awareness activities, activities for the promotion of the project’s results in the 4 participating countries, and on-site and online meetings of the network used to strengthen it and monitor the project.<< Results >>The project’s main results will be:‒ A European network with dialogue capabilities with the European Commission.‒ A methodological guide for training to become older siblings.‒ Non-formal resources for inclusion and to overcome the barriers derived from their illness.‒ A web tool that allows youth with disabilities to request help from an older sibling.‒ A European dissemination campaign: AN OLDER SIBLING TO REACH THE FUTURE.
