Project "Friends' Book: Let's go together..." 2013

"Friends Book: Lets go.. together!"

SummaryParticipants draw and exchange the pictures of themselves and their life, discuss their drawings, and create one Friends Book, which will help each participant to find new friends and overcome life barriers.
DescriptionEvery day young people with various disabilities face great problems in overcoming their closed community and becoming open for new contacts, communication with others and common living in society, especially in international one. Friends Book offers a great possibility to break through usual for disabled people circle and find new friends among various youth groups: using telecommunications we propose participating individuals to draw images of themselves, their homes and their dreams according to the tasks given by coordinators, exchange and discuss them and by representing them to find new friends. From the drawn series of images we will compose Friends Books of participants (analog to photo album) and make both hard and virtual copies of each book with contacts and pictures instead photos. By drawing themselves we believe both young people with disabilities and without them from all over the world will make a step towards each other and help each other to overcome various barriers appearing in their lives and communities.
