The project aims to support the development of disadvantaged children by fostering cross-border connections. In both countries, children with intellectual disabilities or developmental delays and their families face significant challenges. To address this, the project seeks to reduce these disadvantages through cooperation between the two organizations and their partner educational institutions. This program will unite professionals, parents, and guardians working with children with autism and other disabilities, offering both professional and personal support. By increasing people-to-people contacts, the project will help improve the living conditions of these children. Over years of collaboration, the organizations have identified focus areas for cooperation that can now be implemented. Inclusive education is key to helping these children break free from the limitations of their conditions, providing them with opportunities for a better quality of life. Workshops, camps, forums, sensory room sessions, concerts, and institutional visits will offer sustainable connections across the border, welcoming all who are interested.
(Expected) Results:The main outputs can be divided into three groups. Namely the cooperation between professionals, which is very important in terms of transfer of professional knowledge, the disadvantaged children involved in the work and the organized events. The three outputs build on each other, complementing and reinforcing each other, to produce a result that will lead to the development of the target group and an improvement in their quality of life. The activities (learning about each other's work, joint camps, teaching how to use Soundbeam, individual development, parent forums, music therapies and children's presentations) are all designed to ensure that inclusive education for the target group is as broad as possible.
The impact of the results of the project will be felt not only during the project, but also in the long term. It is not possible to develop children with autism and other disadvantages in a spectacular way during the course of one year, because it requires a very meticulous step-by-step work, which starts with the previous project, continues with this one and then continues using the experience and tools gained.
The project will result in a well-established cooperation between the existing relationship, which will also anticipate the development of future generations, using all the experience and tools acquired.
