During the Kick off meeting in November in Oberursel, the partners engaged in a workshop to explore what team abilities are, what skills are expected to work together and what methods could be used to develop these competences.
We also created a timetable for reaching our first goal: Gathering and sharing methods and experimentation in order to select the best practices for the next transnational meeting in Athens.
During the in December weeks, partners from Lithuania, the Netherlands and France have composed a target group in each country, composed of staff and PWDs.
The methods employed are: group discussion (brainstorming), skills list, roleplay and interviews.

The partners from the Netherlands composed a group with 1 client and 3 staff members and decided to take a scientific approach to Team Ability, starting with a definition:
To have the skills to contribute in a cooporative and coordinated effort on the part of a group of people / persons, acting together as a team in the interest of a common goal / cause.
The partners focused on clients with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) who deserve a job and to participate in society. They have special skills (eg. High attention to detail) that could represent an asset to employers, they do, however, have some difficulties with communication. They need clarity and structure in their workspace.
Definiton of Team Ability:
Developing the individual skills necessary to contribute as the member of a group in a cooporative and coordinated working environment. Allowing everyone to act together as a team in the interest of a common goal or cause.
