Summary Description of the Project:
It is only 15 km distance between partner cities. The project involves not only the children learning at partners’ schools but their parents, teachers and other members of cross-border communities as well. While implementing the project the attention is paid to disabled people living in cities of both partners, to whom a joint art plenere and art therapy festival are planned to be organized. These activities will contribute to the discrimination of people with disabilities and reduction of social exclusion in partners’ countries.
