1. BE ENGAGED:
(i) Participate In Our " Young Leaders Preparedness Programme"
Throughout the month of Nov 2017 -Jan 2018, activities will be organised to provide experiential learning opportunities for young volunteers. "Inclusion & Integration Made Simple": An SDGs Accelerator Programme
- We promote a down-to-earth approach in cultivating inclusion and integration by enabling future leaders to "play, socialise and work" together with our differently abled beneficiaries (people who have different physical, mental/ cognitive & social abilities). In the process, young participants will be encouraged to analyse the state of integration and inclusion for the differently abled in the context of SDG 3, 4, 8, 10 and 11 above and think of ways in which they can be improved. The Young Leaders Preparedness Programme is a phenomenon learning programme that anchors learning to real life phenomenon or situation. The programme provides experiential learning opportunities and training, and facilitates youth-community collaborations and youth-community generated solutions in order to promote “collaborative learning”, critical thinking and problem-solving in the context of the above focused goals for the differently abled. (ii) Sign Up & Join Our Focus Groups
-The focus groups will be formed to stimulate partnerships in the "co-creation of knowledge" to advance inclusion, integration, equal opportunities and the protection of the differently abled in relation to their education, health, employment and employability (which includes both job-preparedness & employee retention). The objective of the community-based collaboration is to develop new ideas, skills, methodologies, approaches, solutions, products and services from the ground-up to ensure relevancy, cohesion and effectiveness of programmes, approaches and policies.
2. EXPLORE & LEARN: Explora Learning Programme
- The Festival will feature "Explora Learning" a programme comprising of sports, photography, handicrafts, gardening, food art, performance arts and activities to address socio-economic disparities. Explora Learning activities are organised with the support of members from the focus groups and are designed to generate the experience and expertise necessary to create effective transition programmes and activity centres for the future.
3. CO-CREATE & INITIATE: Explora Transition Initiatives
-Following the , participants will be encouraged to partner for the SDGs (SDG 17) and co-create meaningful initiatives that advance integration and inclusion in our focused areas/ SDGs mentioned above. Explora Transition Initiatives are aimed to
(i) stimulate "higher standards" transition support programmes for stakeholders at all stages of their lives; and
(ii) nurture systems that accommodate "life-long" needs & challenges of persons with different cognitive and physical abilities. The multi-disciplinary & multi-stakeholders nature of the focus groups will enable participants to leverage on the broader experience and expertise provided by the different members as well as promote participatory consultation, community ownership and community-driven solutions to ensure sustainability. WHO CAN JOIN?
1. Stakeholders (primary/ secondary), potential employers, professionals working in the education, health and employment-readiness sectors;
2. Students, youth groups and individuals interested in achieving the indicated focus goals for people with varied abilities. "If we are together, nothing is impossible"
