with the German foreign office's objective of support for and networking of women through the promotion of an inclusive dialogue between women and NGOs in the Caucasus region. In easily accessible and inclusive formats we will network and upskill mothers and female leaders in NGOs and rural communities that are working with children with disabilities and their families in Germany, Armenia and Georgia and contribute to a learning community to strengthen cross-border civil society initiatives. </p><h3><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Background </span></span></h3><p style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr">The starting point of the project is the promotion of an inclusive dialogue between different social groups while placing a focus on female lead civil society. The project is organized with a multilevel bottom-up approach and focuses on articulating the needs and demands of people with disabilities and their caregivers while also promoting a learning community in which civil society organizations can learn from each other through best-practice examples. We thus address not only the factors that accelerate and support inclusion, but also explore the structural issues surrounding exclusion and ways in which civil society can overcome these. In all three countries women lead civil society organizations are playing an ever more important role in lobbying for and making visible the needs and demands of children with disabilities and their caregivers </p><h3><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Problem description</span></span></h3><p style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr">Over the past two decades, education levels for children with disabilities in the Caucasus region have risen significantly, with out-of-school rates decreasing by half. Adoption of international conventions and the influence of bodies like the UN and EU have prompted important educational reforms. While progress has been made, challenges persist. Many nations still grapple with the legacy of segregated education, particularly for children with disabilities. Inclusive education strategies vary, and some countries face resistance due to capacity and resource gaps, and large parts of the population believe children with disabilities should attend special schools. </p><p style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"> </p><h3><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The project has two pillars:</span></span></h3><ol style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;"><li style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;list-style-type:decimal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Strengthening networks</strong></span><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong> within women with children with disabilities and cross-border capacity</strong></span><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong> building</strong></span><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong> of women-led civil society.</strong></span></span></li></ol><p class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">This pillar is based on the Self-Concept of Political Competence, which pertains to an individual's self-assessment of political abilities and their readiness to engage in political actions (ability self-concept). A strong level of self-concept in one's political competencies indicates a strong sense of agency. It signifies a conviction in the ability to comprehend political matters and exert influence in the social and political spheres. Within this model, the self-concept of one's political competences aligns with a generalized expectation of situations and actions. It reflects the belief that various options for action are available to an individual in specific political scenarios. The activites that are developed upon in this pillar are competence based, encouraging the participants to explore the competencies they have gained through caring for a child with disabilities. </span></span></p><p class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"> </p><p class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Activities</strong></span></span></p><ul><li><p class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Two low threshold weekend workshops for mothers of children with disabilities focusing on building networks and capacity (May and Juli 2024)</span></span></p></li><li><p class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Four online thematic workshops on organizational and personal resilience, topics can be legal rights and advocacy work, career coaching and psycho-social wellbeing (May, June, August and September 2024)</span></span></p></li><li><p class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Online conference on competence-based training and life-competencies (November 2024)</span></span></p></li><li><p class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Spin-Off:</strong></span><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Curriculum and Handouts for partner organizations</span></span></p></li></ul><p class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:35.4pt;margin-top:0pt;" dir="ltr"> </p><ol style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;" start="2"><li style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;list-style-type:decimal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Theater of the oppressed</strong></span><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong> workshops around the lives and lived experience of mothers and families of children with disabilities.

A strong level of self-concept in one's political competencies indicates a strong sense of agency. It signifies a conviction in the ability to comprehend political matters and exert influence in the social and political spheres. Within this model, the self-concept of one's political competences aligns with a generalized expectation of situations and actions.  The activites that are developed upon in this pillar are competence based, encouraging the participants to explore the competencies they have gained through caring for a child with disabilities. </span></span></p><h3 class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:14pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Pillar 2: Theater of the oppressed workshops around the lives and lived experience of mothers and families of children with disabilities</span></span></h3><p class="text-align-justify" style="line-height:1.3800000000000001;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Theater of the oppressed works with the preservation and reconstruction of democratically oriented civil society structures in the region or temporary exile.
