The project "AAA - Activism Against Ableism", stands for "Activism against Ableism - Promoting political participation and activism of young citizens with different disabilities" and is founded by the European Union in the Erasmus+ programme. AAA started in September 2022 and will be accompanied by different European organisations, NGOs, companies and municipalities until 2024.
The aim of the project is to develop transnational cooperation regarding to young people with disabilities. New resources are to be developed that will help these young people, for example, to take part in civic participation or even to set one up themselves. Overall, a new network of stakeholders, organisations and political decision-makers is to be created at European level, which will help young people with disabilities to assert their interests, especially in politics.
In addition to the young people, employees of the respective project partners and partner organisations should also benefit from the project results by incorporating them into their practice and receiving appropriate training. This should raise the awareness of employers for the rights of persons with disabilities and enable equal participation and integration of persons with disabilities in the labour market. All developed resources within the project will be made available in seven languages and will be freely accessible for five years after the end of the project.
