Main Objectives
The purpose of this project is to develop among a group of European citizens with an intellectual or multiple disabilities an awareness and understanding of the interdependent world and of their role, responsibility and lifestyles in relation to a globalised society.

In each country a joint team of development education professionals and educators/tutors or activity leaders from the field of disability, will work with groups of young people with a disability through learning workshops, raising the awareness of participants about global development issues.
