Description
Although the rights of people with physical disabilities are protected by law, they are often faced with problems in their everyday lives. Despite the measures undertaken locally, they are still unaccepted and misunderstood. The action Raise awareness! is necessary in order to promote positive perceptions towards people with physical disabilities and their rights. In such a way we can create inclusive society based on human rights. Our target group is young people between 15 and 18 years old. By participating in the action they are going to acquire knowledge which will prevent biased thinking and creating prejudice later in life.The expected results are the initial meeting, operational plan, activity evaluation, press release, 4 inclusive high school workshops, at least 60 high school students participating in the workshops, at least 300 high school students informed about the action, organized event "Upoznaj svoj grad!", at least 20 high school students participating in the event, initial and final conference, 5 internet releases on Facebook and the Association's web page, informative leaflets for the event "Upoznaj svoj grad!", and a published brochure.
