Objectives

In this project, we want to achieve those objectives: - Empower deaf adults aged 18-40 in Romania with leadership skills applicable in various contexts. - Provide tools for leadership within deaf communities in Europe. - Develop a tailored training program on deaf leadership for implementation in Belgium, Portugal, Bulgaria, and Romania. - Raise awareness about empowering deaf individuals for societal inclusion. - Strengthen partner organizations' capacity in Erasmus+ projects.

Activities

We will organise: - a preparatory meeting during 3 days in Belgium to prepare project activities; - a 3-day leadership training, and 1-teambuilding/travel day, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, aiming to empower 20 deaf participants on leadership styles, history, identity, teamwork, and leadership in various contexts and levels of society; - and a one-day seminar in Portugal to disseminate project results and inspire at least 20 deaf participants from Portugal on leadership in the deaf community.

Impact

We expect to achieve these results in the project: - Empower 20 deaf adults aged 18-40 in Romania as active leaders. - Sensitize European deaf adults on deaf history and identity and how to become leaders in their communities. - Ensure that the four partner organizations (Empoway, ANSR Tineret, APS, and Listen Up Foundation) are ready to provide leadership training in their countries. - Enhanced skills for partner organizations in conducting Erasmus+ projects.
