In many communities there are strong physical and communication barriers that make it hard for them to participate in social life and to live a normal life.
The goal of the project is to help young people to be more acceptable and tolerant of problems of disabled people and vulnerable groups, to help them to be more involved in social causes. Young people from vulnerable groups need better opportunities concerning positively Changes of attitudes, reducing of discrimination and barriers to access. The difficulties that young people with disabilities face are connected to disability, but as well to referring to discrimination, stereotypes, problems to express the feelings.
