e-ISOTIS To Participate in the International Day of Disabled PersonsOn December 3rd 2007, e-ISOTIS ( http://www.e-isotis.org ), will celebrate the UN recognised “International Day of Disabled Persons” in Athens, Greece. e-ISOTIS is already recognised for its continual contribution towards improving the life of the people with physical disabilities and the elderly and is currently working on a number of projects which use ICT to help do so. e-ISOTIS audits existing Information Society activities and structuresWe check existing Information Society policies, committees and other initiatives to see whether the interests of disabled people and elderly are taken into account. In particular: e-ISOTIS advances the involvement of disabled people and elderly in the (Information) SocietyWe consider disabled people and elderly as the best experts to advise on the policies, products and services that have an impact on them. In this context, we take actions to promote their involvement by: e-ISOTIS boosts employability of disabled and elderlyWe inform employers on the gained benefits by employing disabled and elderly and on relevant good practices. Also further to innovative training courses that we run for enhancing the skills of elderly and disabled, we also initiate mentoring programmes for providing proper advice on one hand how employers could employ more efficiently disabled and elderly employeers and on the other hand how these group of potential employees can adapt themselves efficiently to their working environment. e-ISOTIS validates and reviews the accessibility and usability of Assistive Technologies and ICT servicesThere are already many existing technologies that can support the participation of disabled people and older people and their integration into society. In this context, we review the extent to which these “assistive technologies” and ICT services are accessible and usable to those who actually need them. In this context: e-ISOTIS implement unique training courses for elderly and disabled peopleWe identify missing gaps in the employment market sector and we implement training courses that take advantage of the special abilities of disabled and elderly and that envisage to facilitate considerably the employability of our target group. In brief, e-ISOTIS reviews support for affordability for Elderly and disabled joining the Information SocietyThere is a danger that the technology and services of the Information Society will be unaffordable for those disabled people and older people who need it most. Therefore we assess the question of affordability for these groups and review the provision of public supports in this area by: e-ISOTIS inducts private and public organisations on exploiting funding from the EUe-ISOTIS implements training courses and publishes handbooks and manuals on how private and public organisations can exploit financial support from the European Union for advancing their activities. Applying for funds is difficult and the competition is strong but there are opportunities that any legal entity, private or public should seek in any area for supporting their activities. |
