Many persons with disabilities throughout Europe receive support by a service providing organisation. The quality of the provided service depends mostly on the quality of the staff of the service providers. Though staff education and training differs from country to country almost nowhere persons with disabilities act as trainers. The project aimes at training persons with disabilities to become trainers and deliver training to staff in 6 different countries in a test phase. The content of the training is linked to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), one of the most important document on disability issues. The results of the project will be:- a training programme for persons with disabilities to become trainers on the UNCRPD, based on a survey conducted in 5 countries among self advocacy groups- recruitment and training of 48 trainers with disabilities and 12 co-trainers without disabilities from 4 different countries- testing and evaluation of delivery training to 180 to 360 staff members in 5 different countries- a DVD as guidance material showing the training - an international one-day conference for presentation and discussions of the resultsAll results will be published on a project website to be created and will be available for further use. The impact envisaged is to implement the approach of training by persons with disabilities to staff on UNCRPD into the curricula of educational institutions providing training and education for staff of service providers to persons with disabilities. In 5 of the partner countries educational institutions will cooperate with the training by persons with disabilities to staff and will implement this approach in their curriculum. Thus, the project will have an impact on the educational system by involving the trainers-with-disabilities view and on the quality of services provided to persons with disabilities and improve their quality of life according to the UNCRPD.
