Young and disabled? Become a Realist!

With the Realists Academy 2.0: the inclusion makers, young people between the ages of 17 and 27 are building an inclusive labor market and developing themselves to increase their own opportunities.

As a young person you commit yourself as a Realist (experience expert) to inspire and activate others with your personal experiences of living and working with a disability. You do this by providing information.

Skills

Participation in the 'Realist Academy 2.0: the inclusion makers' lasts six months. In short: in a few months you receive professional training, you develop yourself, you increase your chances on the labor market and you build a social and professional network. After you have completed the basic training, you have put your unique view of the labor market and experiences in the form of a pitch or information sessions. You will then present these (online or on site) to schools and companies. The program lasts at least 6 months after training and costs about 6 hours per month.

You are a young person (14-27 years old)* with a physical disability, chronic illness, psychological or intellectual disability and you want to become even more aware of your qualities! In addition to developing yourself personally, you want to show others that young people with a disability also deserve a permanent place in the labor market. You are also interested in participating in a social service time project!

* If you are slightly older than 27, please contact us to look at the possibilities together.

Other information

As a Realist you get a look behind the scenes at all kinds of organizations! All these experiences ensure that you can take a realistic look at your opportunities and future possibilities and help you to change the perception of young people with a distance to the labor market.

In addition, as a Realist you will receive an appropriate volunteer allowance and the Europass certificate for volunteers. .
