Aims and objectives:

The project aims to create a more inclusive Higher Education system, that fosters an equal access and equality for deaf people in approaching the academic entrepreneurial training, through concrete tools (the Compendium, the e-Space and the Community). Doing so, it will support EU HE sector in adapting its entrepreneurship and business management courses to deaf students’ needs, promoting their entry into the labor market and dispelling the myth of their low employability and low professional contribution.

Deliverables:

  • An e-COMPENDIUM FOR HE SECTOR for making their business management and entrepreneurship courses more inclusive and open to deaf students with its protocols, guidelines, and badge;
  • An e- SPACE FOR DEAF STUDENTS with a Training Manual and methodologies for approaching these courses;
  • A E.F COMMUNITY based on Local Seminars with local business sectors, where a Fair will be organized to reach potentially interested HEIs to learn about the project products and test them;
  • An EU Policy Recommendation able to create a bridge with HE systems and their deaf students;

Target Group(TG):

Direct TG: EU HEIs and their TEACHERS, DEAF STUDENTS IN HEIs.

INDIRECT TG: The LABOUR MARKET and its REPRESENTATIVES (public authorities, Chambers of Commerce, etc.), The CIVIL SOCIETY will benefit, in the medium-long term, from an inclusive HE system, a more open labor market and a group of citizens traditionally considered fragile now actively included and involved in all economic processes, in social and democratic life.
