From Raising Awareness to Open Labour Market Opportunities for People with Disabilities through Vocational Training and Lifelong Strategies — is a two year project (01.01.2009 - 31.12.2010) funded under the Lifelong Learning Programme of the DG Education and Culture of the European Commission. It brings together partners from 8 countries, namely Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Malta, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. The overall aim of the project is to enable people with disabilities to enter into the open labor market by providing them, the professionals who accompany them, the employers and other stakeholders involved in the process, with a learning opportunity based on well tested training materials from three previous projects, 2 Leonardo da Vinci (Conversion and Atlas) and 1 Socrates-Grundtvig (Inclusive Education Model) project focusing on lifelong opportunities and vocational training for Persons with Disabilities and on their integration in mainstream education and inclusive employment.
