In preparation for the Third International Inclusive Creative Games, the teamof the project «People IN"continues to hold seminars at the Lipetsk City Youth Center for specialists from social institutions, organizers and volunteers involved in the implementation of the event. Participants will learn how to build comfortable communication and overcome organizational barriers when communicating with people with disabilities.
From March to November Lipetsk hosts the Third International Inclusive Creative Games. These are competitions in the field of culture and art among the winners of regional festivals and competitions in Russia and the world from among people with disabilities. An extensive business program is planned: scientific and practical conferences, seminars, master classes and round tables. In Septemberthe city will host the final of the competition program with the participation of at least 45 regions of Russia and with the international inclusion of at least 3 countries of the world. The Games have no analogue in terms of the composition of participants (people with disabilities of all nosologies) and a set of competitive nominations (31 nominations for 8 types of arts).
During the seminars, the team of the project «People IN» will explain in simple and understandable language, how to properly interact with people with disabilities and effectively create and conduct inclusive events.
The seminars are interactive, so the participants will not have to take dictation — they will become the actors themselves. The program consists of equivalent parts:
module of darkness — formation of a culture of communication with people with visual disabilities;
module of silence- formation of a culture of communication with people with hearing disabilities;
module of action — formation of a culture of communication with people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
As part of the Moscow team, the module of interaction with people with visual disabilities will be conducted by Lipetsk trainers with visual impairment who participated in the seminar on March 17−19 in Lipetsk.
The skills acquired at the seminars will allow to conduct Games at a high level. After passing the seminars, participants will increase the level of empathy, develop inclusive competencies and will be able to provide a comfortable environment for all residents of the region, regardless of how different they are.
The necessary support and situational assistance at the site will be provided by «Cultural Volunteers» — representatives of the Council of Leaders of the Lipetsk region.
The project is being implemented with the support of the Presidential Grants Fund in partnership with the administrations of the Lipetsk region and the city of Lipetsk, the Union of All-Russian and Leading Organizations of Disabled People «AbiArt», as well as the methodological support of the
