Together!

Grundtvig, 2005-2008

Together!  

The objective of this Grundtvig (Socrates) project was to develop a curriculum, to teach adult learners with intellectual disabilities to participate actively in decisions made at the micro-, meso, and macro-level: 

  • how do you make decisions, for yourself? (micro-level)
  • How do you make decisions, in a group? (meso-level)
  • How are decisions made in your organisation, community, city or country? Are you involved in these decisions, is it possible to influence these decisions, and if so, how? (macro-level)

In the curriculum, learners learn to solve realistic problems in their own lives. They practice strategies and learn skills that they can use to practice every-day problems in their own lives

The curriculum was developed in close co-operation with the target group: adult learners with intellectual disabilities, their relatives, coaches and teachers. 
 
The curriculum consists of 3 modules with lesson plans, materials, a website and a teacher's guide.  The curruculum was developed by all partners,  then localised for each country, to take into account the specific situation of adults with intellectual disabilities, in the participating countries.
