Dear friends,
Best wishes to all of you for a healthy and prosperous New Year. The St.
Barnabas School for the Blind, in Nicosia Cyprus is planning to submit an
application to the ERASMUS plus call on February 4, 2015 for a youth
exchange. The exchange will take place at some point between May and
September 2015 and will last for a week. The general objective of the
project is to promote resilience, empowerment and self-awareness in young
people with visual impairment. It will concern young people ages 16 – 22
years of age with low vision or totally blind. This age range is a crucial
stage of human development, both in normally developed populations and
especially in people with visual impairments. The transition from
meta-adolescence to early adulthood constitutes a period of change and
raises a great need for adaptation skills to be exhibited by the
individuals. The specific program seeks to enhance resilience, empowerment
and self-awareness skills, as they constitute basic tools for the ability to
adapt and develop positively.
Please forward this message to schools or organizations in your country who
might be interested to participate as partners in this project. For any
further details please feel free to contact me. If you are interested to
take part in this project please contact me by Sunday January 25, 2015.
Best wishes,
Maria Kyriacou
Contact person of Cyprus
