We are now on our way with the WISPEL project. A project about people with special needs and for people with special needs.
A project that intends to share the Wisdom of Special PEopLe, asking some persons and families who
faced disability and are now in the position of accomplished, satisfied, fulfilled and happy persons, and then passing this experience and the advices towards the ones who are now facing disability, who are having a tough time and difficulties in their life.
We are 7 partners from as many countries: Esperando Association - from Romania (initiator and coordinator of the project; APOCLAM -Asociación Profesional de Orientadores en Castilla La Mancha - Spain, Associazione per il
Coordinamento Nazionale degli Insegnanti Specializzati CNIS - Italy, ŞİLE İMKB HALK EĞİTİM
MERKEZİ - Turkey, APCC - Associação de Paralisia Cerebral de Coimbra - Portugal; Aarhus College of Health and Social Sciences - Denmark; and Bernu
un jauniesu ar invaliditati biedriba "Ceribu sparni" - Latvia.
Over a period of two years (August 2013 - July 2015), we are going to work together to find the right "advisors" and to collect their advices, and then prepare a booklet and web based materials for other people with special needs. We are convinced that, at the end of the project, we will be able to contribute to improving the lives of many persons and families and to make this peer-to-peer support an important tool for many years and lots of people with disabilities.
So, if you happen to know individuals with disabilities, or families who have a member with a disability, who are happy and accomplished in their life, who passed the suffering and frustrating times, who are at peace and settled, content with themselves, with life and with the
world, who have reached that level of "serenity" and "attained life", please recommend them to us.
They could become the chance to a better life for other persons in some remote part of Europe or even of the World!
