Awake Senses is a short-term EVS project that brings together youth living with physical and sensory disabilities. During two months these young people from 6 different European countries will share their experiences and participate in workshops that prepare them to give Awake Senses presentations at Estonian public schools. Presentations will be given by the whole group with the help of local volunteers.

Prevailing stereotypes that lie behind the word 'disability' come from insufficient information about the every day realities of people actually living "behind" the word.
Aim of the Awake Senses presentations is to bring together young people with disabilities and mainstream youth to understand better each others living conditions and to realize that we all have a role to play in creating a society where everyone feels included.

Both the sending organization and the volunteer will be contacted with the results.
Please be prepared to be asked together with your volunteer to participate in a short skype interview.
