WHAT IS THE ICT BRIDGES PROJECT?
People with disabilities encounter barriers of many
kinds in their lives. They also encounter barriers
to learning which determine how they can further
their vocational training, their areas of study in
higher education, as well as their life long
learning.
The use of Information and Communication
Technologies increasingly enables people with
disabilities to follow an individualized training
pathway, and helps to remove barriers to learning.
This empowerment maximises inclusion in society
and access to employment.
This project aims to raise awareness among trainers
and teachers of the important contribution that can
be made by ICT and also to create bridges between
people with disabilities, in order for them to
exchange their experiences.

Objetives
-
To use information and communication
technologies as instruments to overcome the
different physical, social, geographical or
other barriers encountered by people with
disabilities in the field of vocational
training.
-
To promote the effective acquisition of skills
and knowledge and improve the quality of the
vocational training system for people with
disabilities by influencing the approach of
trainers and educators through peer to peer
experience sharing.
-
To foster the use of ICT to integrate the
disabled into the educational process and the
work market, by sharing experiences and
achievements in best practice. This sharing by
both disadvantaged learners and educators can
impact the contribution of innovative
approaches in the creation of a more attractive
environment in vocational training.

Come and share your experiences.
ICT Bridges offers you the chance to share your
story, your ideas and experiences, to tell about your
background and what technologies have helped you to
overcome difficulties in learning.
An integral part of ICT Bridges is the online forum,
where you can exchange ideas with others with a
similar disability in your own country or throughout
Europe.
