Close cooperation – the key to improvement of quality of life for people with disabilities (Close cooperation)
Start date: Nov 30, 2011, End date: Nov 29, 2013 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Due to the low level of social integration and a limited offer of special services and personal assistance, people with disabilities of the border regions of Lithuania and Belarus often face the risk of exclusion and discrimination which contravenes the provisions of Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The project is aimed at increasing the opportunities for inclusion of people with disabilities, their family members and legal carers into the society through strengthening institutional cooperation and experience exchange between the partners. Expected Results: The project will contribute to improvement of public attitude towards people with disabilities and strengthen cooperation between local administrations and the NGOs in addressing common problems of the target group by means of organising 2 psychosocial rehabilitation camps for people with disabilities, their families and carers, 2 festivals of artistic groups, 8 qualification raising trainings for specialists directly working with the disabled persons and 2 self-advocate platform meetings in Belarus and Lithuania.
