Inclusion and diversity in school libraries
A project to make school libraries an environment to boost up skills in people with disabilities.
BYBLIOS is a 24-month Cooperation Partnership project funded by the Erasmus+ KA2 programme. It involves 6 partners from 5 European countries.
Why libraries?
Libraries are fundamental community hubs. They are often the only public open structure always present even in small villages. They have the potential to become spaces for inclusion and career development for young people with disabilities.
What do we plan to achieve?
A RESEARCH
We have developed a participatory action research to collect views and insights on the future of libraries and the needs of librarians.
AN IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE
We have developed and piloted a protocol for inclusion of people with disabilities as workers in libraries.
A COLLECTIVE VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF LIBRARIES
We have worked with international working groups to create a manifesto for the future of libraries as spaces for inclusion.
"It is an adventure for improving the life of young adults with disability while transforming local libraries into spaces for career development”
