About the project<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you know someone who can\u2019t participate in daily life activities because society doesn\u2019t care about that person\u2019s needs and equity? Or does this apply to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Persons with disabilities (PWD) have to face this reality every day, but you could help get the ball of equity rolling! Are you inspired to volunteer your time learning about barriers and identifying those in public life, collecting data on accessibility at a couple of public locations to improve the status of PWD in your community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The organisation \u201cJuSeV\u201d from Germany and NGO \u201cBRAVO\u201d from Bosnia and Herzegovina are giving you a chance to be a volunteer through the project \u201cBarrier detectives\u201d. The project is being implemented in Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. To that occasion, we invite young volunteers to participate in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this project, you will participate in a training about the rights of PWD and the way in which those rights are or are not respected in the target countries (with a special focus on your own communities) in an international online training (partly in English, partly in your own language). You will then have a chance to check for barriers in mobility and communication in several public facilities in your area (libraries, sports and leisure facilities, playgrounds, etc.), following a \u201cbarriers checklist\u201d provided by the project coordinators. Similarly, you will have a chance to interview persons in charge of those facilities and advocate for more inclusive practices. Afterwards, we will analyze the data collected and share knowledge and experiences in an online conference, gathering guest speakers and volunteers from each participating country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
