Summary of project Place: Voronezh Institute of High Technologies Time: last week September - October Audience: 50 young handicapped people - up to 18 year old. Project Description:Providing young people with a tool to communicate with other people via Internet. This project will be fulfilled in two parts: 1) 10-15 young volunteers (schoolboys and girls as well as students) will learn with a professional psychologist the way training should be delivered for handicapped people. Besides, they will learn which programs and what tools will be taught during future sessions. 2) Series of training for young handicapped children. expect that we will have 5 sessions because first of all every person will need an individual mentor who will explain all programs and tools. And secondly, there are only 10 computers in class to be used in one moment of time. Time period per session is about 3 hours. During that time I plan to explain the following tools\ programs for handicapped people:
Plan to have photo camera so that we will be able to make a few pictures of every person in order to be able to upload some of them on the personal webpage. At the end of the session we will have a short lunch break where we will share with each other impression about gained experience and skills. And our future plans to expand this experience as well. And also would like to give every trained person a web camera so they will be able to use it at home and continue the opportunity to speak to each other free via Skype and improving their computer skills.
