The STELLA Handbook is printed!
Over the last two years 10 of our partners have been working within the STELLA Project, sponsored by the EU-Programmes Erasmus+, to develop a handbook aimed at improving the basic skills of people with disabilities. The information and methods presented serve as a practical guide for social workers and carers in enabling their clients a more self determined life or even finding employment on the primary labour market.
Active social participation was the leading precept throughout: during the main project phases, including the international meetings, people with disabilities were proactive members of the project, on equal footing with the employees of the partner organizations involved.
The handbook is now nearing completion and will be made available to download via the Stella website as of November in the following languages: German, English, Greek, French, Italien, Dutch,
Turkish, Lithuanian, Polish and easy read Swedish.
During the the last international meeting at the end of September in Lithuania the printed handbook, outlining basic skills over six chapters ranging from Organizational Skills and Team Ability to
Communication Skills, was presented to a broad audience.
Participants with and without disabilities unanimously agreed on the success of the project which culminated in a ‘super product’, from which both the employees as well as the target group with
disabilities shall profit greatly.
The next challenge is already in the planning: to support and strengthen the digital skills of people with disabilities, this is the goal of the international consortium for the next three years.
