GIVE COMMUNICATION A CHANCE!
(Project financed by the US Embassy)
In the modern society, a social category is recognized / acknowledged and evaluated as long as it has the possibility to express itself and to present itself to the other members of the society.
The aim of this project financed by the US Embassy in Bucharest is to contribute to the development and consolidation of the Romanian civil society, through the promotion of equal chances for disabled children and disabled young people and through the facilitation of free access to information.
Project objectives:
the publishing of 3 interactive "Informative Bulletin" issues for and with the help of disabled children/young people;
facilitating and assessing the access to information and free expression, for disabled children/young people from Romania;
to actively contribute to/affect the change of attitude and that of mentality regarding the disabled children/young people from Romania, by their participation in the communication and by the evaluation of their (entire) potential.
Calendar: September 2001-September 2002
Brief description of the project:
The project aimed to develop the communication means capable of facilitating the integration of physically disabled young people in the community(society) and to ensure equal chances through the creation, development and distribution of a dynamic, informative magazine edited trimestrially for and with the help of physically disabled young people. The magazine contains information adapted to the specific needs of disabled children/young people, articles, interviews realized by and with disabled children/young people, events, useful legislation and other relevant information. The articles written by disabled young people constitute a positive example of exemplar involvement/activity, for other persons with special needs and provide a positive image of those that, despite the adversity they encountered due to architectural barriers, have managed to present themselves as important resource-persons in their community.
The Informative Bulletin was distributed to all the members of ASCHF-R as well as to other young persons, through the 8 branches of ASCHF-R from the country and through other NGO's and active institutions dealing with child protection.
