On the 24th of June the international team of 14 participants from Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Germany, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine met to discuss the DISENEX+East project issues to work on in the coming 6 months. The DISENEX+East project is dedicated to the professional inclusion of people with disabilities through engagement into social entrepreneurship and aims to promote (social) entrepreneurship among them.
From 10 to 16 December 2019, the INTAMT Academy organised four workshops as part of the DISEMEX+East project to promote the professional inclusion of people with disabilities in four countries: Armenia (Yerevan), Georgia (Tbilisi), Russia (Ekaterinburg) and Ukraine (Kyiv). The project is co-financed by the Federal Foreign Office under the programme of development of a cooperation with the civil society in the Eastern Partnership countries and Russia. The aim of the workshops was to present best practice examples from Germany.
Continuing the topic of professional inclusion of people with physical or mental disabilities, which remains an important area of INTAMT’s project activities, the Academy organised and coordinated a series of seminars and internships for members of the Russian Abilympics national team in Germany and Finland as part of the preparations for the X. International Abilympics Professional Competition for PWDs, which will take place in Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan, Russia) in early summer 2021.
The geographical orientation of the DISEMEX + EAST international project, which has been running since July 2019 can be derived from the word “East”. The project co-funded by the Federal Foreign Office as part of the programme to develop cooperation with civil society in the EU Eastern Partnership countries and Russia aims to promote the vocational inclusion of people with disabilities into the general labour market. Our project partners come from Russia as well as from the Eastern Partnership countries of the EU – Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
