“Understanding Disabilities: A Guide to Rights, Inclusion, and Support” is a publication resulting from the “Essence: Youth Work and Disability” training course, held in Oroslavje, Croatia, from January 14-21, 2023, and co-funded by the Erasmus+ program. The course, involving 30 youth workers and volunteers from seven EU countries, focused on promoting disability rights, inclusion, and support. Trainers Abraham Azzopardi and Margaret White, with support from Nezavisna udruga mladih, emphasized the importance of creating inclusive environments, debunking myths about disabilities, and addressing accessibility, discrimination, and societal barriers. The guide covers the medical and social models of disability, types of disabilities, challenges faced by people with disabilities, and strategies for promoting inclusion and support, aiming to foster a society that values diversity and empowers individuals with disabilities to reach their full potential.
