Breaking the Silence 2014
Start date: Jun 19, 2014, End date: Nov 18, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Breaking the Silence 2014 is an international exchange project between 3 countries: Romania, Slovenia and Croatia. This exchange project has been started at a Training of Trainers in 2012 and has been firstly implemented in 2013 between Romania and Slovenia. With sign language workshops, trainings and international exchange, project Breaking the Silence offers an attractive platorm for university students in the health sector to learn basics about the communication with deaf and hearing-impaired. We are raising awarness about a right to health, communication with disabled people and we explore and learn about different ways of integration of disabled people into activities through education through sports. This knowledge also enables participants to minimize the barrier between patients and medical workers, that comes with aural or any other disability. Last year, the project aimed to collect and learn basic knowledge about the presented problem and educate trainers for peer to peer education. This years project is a major update, as the participants of last year will conduct the workshops of this year (as a way of learning by doing workshops), connect with the disabled community and together organize workshops to test the ideas of integration through sports. With a new Croatian partner the project also opens up to learn from different country experiences and offer the gained knowledge to new participants. The project will then culminate in an international travel exchange between the involved countries, the exchange that will take place in Croatia within 8 days and will allow participants (24 new participants and 12 youth leaders - previous exchange participants) to gain new insights on the above mentioned topics and will be exclusively conducted by participants of the BTS 2013 exchange.
