About the project
Inclusion360 – Inclusive education and social integration for youth with intellectual disabilities is a 12-month Erasmus+ Small-scale Partnership in the field of Youth (KA210-YOU), implemented from September 2025 to August 2026 by the You Are Part of Us Foundation (Bulgaria) in partnership with the Equal Opportunity and Sustainable Future Association – FESGDER (Türkiye).
The project aims to create an inclusive educational environment for young people with intellectual disabilities aged 13–23, such as Down syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Cerebral Palsy, and to empower them to live more independently and take an active part in their communities.
To achieve this, the partners map community-based good practices for social inclusion in Bulgaria and Türkiye and develop a Special Adapted Educational Program covering life skills, social and digital skills, vocational training and social entrepreneurship.
