DID.VALUE on internship and job in Society
The DID. VALUE project seeks to define and implement a holistic model that facilitates, through disruptive methodology, innovative integration methods, learning mechanisms adapted to the needs of young people, among other aspects, the social and professional inclusion of young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with regard to their entry and contact with the labour market, specifically with paid traineeships and jobs.
In addition, the project team argue’s that the inclusion of this specific target group depends on their acquisition of digital literacy, communication and psychosocial skills and other job-specific competences.
Main goals of the project:
- To enhance inclusive practices and initiatives
- To strengthen excellence in the application of this model
- To develop, prototype and test an integrated inclusion support model
The Research Hub ‘Digital Literacy and Inclusion’, based at the Polytechnic Institute Santarém, was created on February 5th, 2020 and is coordinated by the researcher Maria Potes Barbas. This centre is an extension of the research unit, Centre for Research in Arts and Communication (Algarve).
