The Councilor for Youth and Development Cooperation, Rebeca Pérez, accompanied by young volunteers and representatives of the ONCE in Murcia, has presented the project 'SVE, a tool for the inclusion of young people with audiovisual disabilities'.

The main objective is to promote participation in European mobility programs, especially in the European Voluntary Service, at the same time as the Erasmus Plus program is announced as a tool for social integration.

"While inclusion for all ensures that all young people can participate, the goal of diversity ensures that all people can participate on their own terms, recognizing the value of differences in standards, beliefs, attitudes and life experiences.
This project aims to be a tool for inclusion and, at the same time, to train young people to manage diversity in a positive and respectful way, "the councilor detailed.

During their stay they will have the support of reinforced tutors and the necessary means to make their work and their daily life feasible: mobility technicians, adaptation of computer and physical means.
The impact of the dissemination campaign that will be implemented on the EVS as a means of inclusion and participation for young people with disabilities will favor inclusion and diversity, the objective of understanding EVS as an option for promotion and learning for people with disabilities. visual and also for other young people, whether the young people themselves design and plan it will reach the greatest number of young people both in the host country and in the sending countries and in the rest of Europe through the European Work Network with Young people, with young people with visual disability and ONCE.
"In this way we will establish strategies for volunteers to participate and disseminate information and create their own media in such a way that they facilitate access to EVS to as many young people as possible, so that the information provided in them is easy to understand. for young people, ensuring that they are not discriminatory in particular with regard to young people with visual impairment, "Councilwoman Rebeca Pérez explained during the presentation.
