Urban Survival Kits

Description

The Urban Survival Kits project is a trans-national learning initiative exploring how Adults With Disabilities (AWD), including atypical and neurodiverse, can be supported with their local, national and international travel needs. USK builds on the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 and removes barriers in physical infrastructure; accessibility of information, and creates effective communication tools.Without immediate intervention; people with disabilities will continue to be the most deeply impacted and isolated people in our society. The long-term implications of the pandemic and additional challenges they face in daily life mean that without the opportunities to reengage and connect they will remain largely excluded. The partnership is designed to maximise the impact of “Urban Survival Kits” (USK): an innovative program with staff and the adults with disabilities they support (AWD).USK is an individually centred program delivered through a variety of artistic mediums/techniques and integrated through digital media. USK is introducing innovative ways of thinking and working and developing a range of skills based on the key competencies of lifelong learning.Through intensive hands-on training, the 12 staff will directly experience each element and outcomes of the program. Their experience, reflective learning and expertise will directly inform and refine the workshops delivered to AWD in each partner organisation.A series of online workshops will be delivered to 24 AWD, supported by staff, creating a specifically tailored, inclusive and immersive learning experience. This integrated structure provides a safe way of experimenting, externalising, reframing and ultimately sharing their real-life stories and experiences. Increasing the relevance, level of engagement and long-term impact and opportunities it will create. Activities include:1 STT (5) days (15) Staff1 blended mobility workshop (5) AWD (30) support staff (15)1 Blended mobility workshops (5) AWD (30) support staff (15)5 Multiplier Events partner-based.1 International Multiplier event1 Awards Multiplier Event (+online International virtual exhibition tour)20 Partner online meetings4 Transnational meetingsPartner organisations from Northern Ireland, Croatia, Turkey, and Poland provide a holistic integrated approach to the educational goals of USK - collectively creating an adaptable blueprint for Survival Kits which can be adapted for any place, time or situation.During 24 months, partners will translate, adapt and consult directly in contact with the artist. Establishing a collaborative process of ongoing evaluation, optimising the accessibility of all teaching and learning methods, materials and instruction manuals for each partner organisation.Participants will:- experiment with new artistic and digital mediums for self-expression, exploration and navigation of the world around them- build directly transferable life skills needed to orientate and negotiate the independent adventures ahead- develop their creative, digital competencies and create any survival kit they will ever need- practice hands-on training, digital recording content from their site Digital Trail working as part of a rotating film crew- prepare an Exhibition, showcasing their Survival Kits, Digital Trails, Artworks and UV inventions.

The growth of live interactive Digital Trails will provide a sustainable mechanism to connect, communicate and reengage through an accessible network; enriching social interaction, leading the AWD across Europe.The USK Awards and selected works will tour via a 3-d printer and be reproduced and presented to the participants in each partner country.By creating and sharing their own USK, the learners and teachers will:-adapt the process for their re-engagement and active participation in wider society-create new strategies to prepare them for reconnecting and engaging with daily life and journeys of any distance or kind-create their own personal dialogue and means of communicating beyond the confines of traditional language-Collectively creating a universal language, dialogue, teaching and learning tools providing a reusable framework for inclusivity in adult education and dire
