Connecting Ability and Disability in AEGEE launched the Bridge project in Wroclaw.The event, "The disabled and the facilitator - a complex relationship", took place on 14-17 April 2005 with the support and participation of a number of people with different disabilities, and disabled people's organisations.
From the site:
"The Bridge" is a way to explain disabled reality to non-disabled young people, discover tools for supporting young disabled people's involvement in civil society, and help to increase their involvement in mainstream youth organizations. In 2005 there will be three more conferences, dealing with Design and Disability, Disabled people in European mobility programmes, and European legislation for disabled people.
