Resume
Breaking the Ways: Inclusion in Kyrgyzstan har til formål at fremme inclusion og empowerment for de mest handicappede grupper gennem et øget samarbejde og partnerskab mellem deh – europeanhouse.org og Association of Social Workers in Kyrgyzstan. PA 2012 skal gennem træning af trænere (175 – 200 personer) og nogle få hands-on aktiviteter styrke evnen til at emplementere aktiv deltagelse og udviklingsmuligheder for og med de mest sårbare grupper. Idéen er at sikre deltagelse af civilsamfund og NGOer i denne implementeringsproces med socialarbejderne som aktive og kompetente forandringsaktører. Der fokuseres på fortaler- og faglige aktiviteter, der kan repliceres lokalt. Herudover skal PA 2012 lægge grunden til det videre partnerskab gennem at udvikle egentlige projektansøgninger, der kan fortsætte indsatsen i 2013-2014 og videre.
