Creating an active civic environment for people with disabilities and their families in small settlements through targeted impact on groups and partnerships and restoring dialogue between stakeholders. There is a need to promote European values: Human Dignity, Freedom, Democracy, Equality, Rule of Law and Respect for Human Rights. The project will form an active civil position and develop activities and initiatives aimed at promoting and respecting basic human and civil rights.

Lyaskovets - Strazhitsa, Veliko Tarnovo region, Central Northern Bulgaria

The full and equal exercise of all rights by people with disabilities has been violated in small settlements. This requires an active, focused and consistent policy, as well as uniting the actions of the responsible institutions and the active participation of civil society. In the rural areas of Bulgaria there are no effective practices that would direct public attention to people with disabilities, prevent discrimination on the grounds of "disability", ensure their full and active participation in all areas of public life and promote respect for their rights. Most of today's human rights concerns affecting people with disabilities are related to discrimination. People with disabilities have exactly the same human rights as people without disabilities; however, they are subject to direct.

The project is addressed to the following groups:
People with disabilities aged 18 to 65 as follows:
- Sensory impairments (sensory)
- Hearing impairment
-Motor impairments
-Intellectual (learning) difficulties
-Permanent damage
Number of the target group: over 3000 inhabitants in the small settlements.

The approach for joint participation and active involvement will be used.
It is achieved through specific methods such as: implementation of joint activities between people with disabilities, local government and the NGO sector; Bottom-up method; direct participation method; equal access to information and expression of opinion.

The target group will be empowered, giving the opportunity to initiate independent actions and proposals for their own benefit and for the benefit of the whole public.
The expected result is to achieve:
• non-discrimination
• full and effective participation and inclusion in society;
• respect for differences and acceptance of people with disabilities as part of human diversity and the human race;
• equal opportunities;
• accessibility;
• equality between men and women;
• respect for the developing abilities of children with disabilities, respect for the right of children with disabilities to preserve their identity.

Creating an active civic environment for people with disabilities and their families in small settlements through targeted impact on groups and partnerships and restoring dialogue between stakeholders.
Implement non-discrimination activities and appropriate adaptation that needs to be done for people with disabilities for their place in civil society. Appropriate adaptation means, where necessary, making the necessary changes and alterations so as not to create disproportionate or unbearable difficulties so that people with disabilities can enjoy their human rights and fundamental freedoms on an equal footing with others.

The idea is a natural continuation of the NGO's work with vulnerable groups so far.
The mission of the organization is: Improving the quality of life in the territory of Lyaskovets - Strazhitsa, by diversifying employment opportunities, improving the technical and social infrastructure and services for the population and strengthening the cultural traditions of the local community.
