ABOUT THE PROJECT

SOFT SKILLS+

The main goal of the project is to develop and implement an educational program that supports individuals with intellectual disabilities, as well as adult educators, in developing soft skills that will enhance their social and emotional development and improve their quality of life.

The key objectives of the project are:

  • To provide access to lifelong learning for the most vulnerable groups of adult learners by supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities in developing soft skills. These skills will help improve their communication and social abilities, increase independence, quality of life, and employability. By enhancing soft skills, individuals with intellectual disabilities can overcome personal barriers and benefit from a more flexible and accessible lifelong learning process.
  • To support educators working with individuals with intellectual disabilities in successfully implementing soft skills training within their commu

PROJECT ACTIVITIES

The expected tangible outcomes of the project include:

  • Soft skills training for individuals with intellectual disabilities, which will be conducted with at least 75 participants within the partner communities.
  • Digital games for soft skills development, serving as a complementary digital component that, combined with live workshops, provides a balanced and comprehensive approach. This method leverages the benefits of traditional and digital learning, enhances engagement, and enables practice and application of soft skills in various contexts through digital gaming.
  • An international training session for developing soft skills in individuals with intellectual disabilities, enriching and improving the program’s effectiveness while fostering intercultural exchange and collaboration.
  • An online course titled “How to Teach Soft Skills to Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities”, aimed at strengthening the capacities of at least 25 educators.
    Dissemination of project results to a broader audience to raise awareness about individuals with intellectual disabilities and the importance of their inclusion.
