Youth In Progress Austria

Youth In Progress Austria has been founded in summer 2008 as a support organization for young people (especially for young people with disabilities). AIM – to support young people in developing their skills and knowledge and realize their ideas. We focus our activities on young people with fewer opportunities, especially disabled people. We do all things mentioned above in corporation with international organizations to share experiences and knowledge. The members of organization are people with and without disabilities, who want to share their knowledge and skills about the topics connected with Youth In Action program, disability field, etc. Organization is consulting interesents on: accessibility in projects, adapting non – formal learning methods, EU “Youth In Action” program/Erasmus+; non – formal education, project management, etc. We also have realised sever training courses and seminars under EU “YOUTH IN ACTION” and now Erasmus+ program, which deals with accessibility in non formal education projects to rise the quality and insure access to mainstream activities also for young people with disabilities; empowerment of young people with disabilities, etc. As well we have been realizing several so called „mainstream” trainings and seminars about European citizenship, inter – religious, inter – cultural dialogue, inclusion, etc., which have been made accessible also for disabled participants to „put in reality”, that inclusive project can be done without „talking about inclusion, but doing it”.
