In recent years, the understanding of disability has changed, meaning that social barriers define peoples disabilities and not their individual deficiencies. Acceptance in society, reducing barriers decreases the effect of disability, increases skills and chances of integration and social autonomy. But still, when we mention disability, most people understand inability, young people with disabilities are not treated as "normal" persons and they are not helped to ignore their handicap that accompanies their hole life. For this reason they do not have friends, they are not interacting with other young people, however, the integration of these young people in community is a matter of human dignity, collective consciousness and recognition. These are some of the needs and problems that young people with disabilities have.

The four volunteers involved in the project, alongside 30 young people with disabilities will be involved in organization and implementation of foreign languages workshops, but also in other areas involving the home of volunteers and interest for all young people involved . We will have a Social Theatre Club / Theatre of the oppressed. In these activities young people with disabilities, volunteers and professionals will learn and play together, the novelty of all of these lies in the fact that these games and activities require creativity and freedom. The discipline of game means no restoration of the right to dignity, the ultimate goal being that all young people to realise that they're better than they believe they are. The method is a psycho-social one, because it allows the development of skills related to self-discovery and personal boundaries, and the analysis of others behavior. Young volunteers will participate in training sessions, meaning non-formal activities. Some of the methods used: volunteers will be invited to express their thoughts and feelings making finger puppets that will have names and will represent different characters. Later life scenarios will be created, interacting with the puppets; also trainings about facilitating access to cultural information of persons with disabilities, and so on. Each week at least once per week there will be outdoor activities, a powerful source of learning experiences - a relaxing, free environment, offering many challenges to young people, so that learning and development becomes strong, inspiring and likely, changing behaviors, creating strong relationships between young people who are based on mutual support.

Long-term benefits for the four volunteers are: personal development, increasing creativity and acquiring new skills; development of self-confidence; contributing to the counties community development, understanding better the problems of persons with disabilities; gaining experience in working with people with disabilities; gaining the chance to become an example for others; adding personal experience in curriculum vitae; testing skills that are needed in social fields; learning romanian language; living a multicultural experience.

Besides they will receive a beautiful experience, because volunteering at the foundation requires involvement, that is essential as an aspect for the development of knowledges.
