Site Visits

Description

A group consisted of ExchangeAbility Ambassadors, university teachers/officials, former Erasmus students and other stakeholders will promote their home institution in terms of exchange programmes, stressing especially the opportunities and possibilities for the mobility of students with disabilities at their home university and city. The visits will be combined with the preparation of an awareness raising campaign on the needs of young persons with disabilities and their inclusion in the EHEA mobility flows.

During each of the visits audiovisual material will be recorded in order to compile an eye-catching video summarising the whole project and providing information on the accesibility of each university and on the obstacles disabled students may encounter while studying in a particular city. As one of the outputs a blog connected to the social media will be created to collect the experiences of the ExchangeAbility Ambassadors after their stay abroad.

Through participation and involvement in the different stages, students with disabilities will have the opportunity to experience the international and intercultural atmosphere associated with the exchange programmes, and to become ‘ExchangeAbility Ambassadors’ at their local environment and among their peers.
