Advocacy and Training Toolkit
This toolkit focuses on supporting disabled people to lead on advocacy. Not all of the information will be useful to everyone. We hope the toolkit will be a starting-point. You will need to adapt it to the aims of your chosen advocacy and training work, and the people you hope to reach through the work. The aim of the Project was to create opportunities for disabled learners, families and education professionals to have a better understanding of the practices of inclusive education in different countries; what the barriers are and solutions to making inclusive education a reality for ALL. Greater understanding and broader experience about what is possible will increase inclusive education practice across all partner countries and beyond. There are some specific aims for disabled people involved with the project. They are: 1) To support young disabled adults to speak up about their experiences of education.2) A greater understanding amongst young disabled adults that they are the experts in their own lives and should have genuine choice and control about their education. 3)To support young disabled adults to play a lead role in promoting inclusive education.
This toolkit has been created by the five partners involved in the "Disabled People Partnership for Inclusive Education" project, funded by Grundtvig. The project partners are: Alliance for Inclusive Education (UK), APF-Association des Paralysés de France (France), UNAPEI (France), Associazione DarVoce (Italy), Sjalfsbjörg ISF (Iceland)
