Project description
GIAff4ID aims to break stereotypes around sexuality and affectivity education for young people with disabilities. The key element to achieve this is to provide high quality education, disseminating information in a way that takes into account different abilities and learning needs, creating customisable content for varying abilities and adaptable to different environments and contexts.
The project aims to develop these activities based on play and, at the same time, produce materials for youth workers on how to use and adapt them to the context in which they work. The training of youth workers will contribute to networking and increasing the exchange of good practices between youth associations working in this field.
Project objectives
- Increase Quality, Innovation, and Recognition of youth work by strengthening creativity, competences, and social commitment of youth workers.
- Enhance youth workers’ understanding of the context and their ability to raise awareness on the subject.
- Develop games for YPWID, and accompanying training materials for youth workers, with the goal of making both groups active promoters of inclusion.
- Strengthen European core values, in particular to reinforce the key principles of freedom, equality, and human rights of YPWID.
- Promote the integration of persons with disabilities in society to ensure their participation in community life.
Project Results
- Guidance Toolkit for youth workers and caregivers on teaching Sexual Education to Young Persons with Disabilities.
- Games’ Compendium on Sexual Education for Young Persons with Disabilities and Instructional Materials for youth workers and caregivers.
