Aktion Mensch grants new project for Belarus Green light for the follow-up project for further development of handicapped aid in Belarus: The Aktion Mensch has granted the Association for International Education and Exchange a subsidy of nearly 37 000 Euro. The IBB is able to continue its ongoing work for further development of specialists and leading co-workers in handicapped aid with it. “We have laid good foundation in the past years with different projects and in diverse target groups for a modern attitude towards handicapped people”, asserts Herbert Wohlhüter looking back on what has been reached, who formerly worked in the administration of the Bethel foundation in Bielefeld.
The current project schedules a period of six month for two big expert conferences in Belarus and two field excursions to Germany in. The target group are psychiatrists and medical experts, who work in the aid for handicapped and mentally ill people. The planed further education conferences and the field excursions are going to be realised in cooperation with the parent organisation BeladpiMi and the health ministry of the republic of Belarus. As regards content it is about the realisation of the UN conventions for the rights of disabled people.
For March 2012 a conference with international speakers is planned in Belarus. Two field excursions to Germany are going to follow and illustrate the theoretic knowledge with examples in practice in North Rhine-Westphalia. In September 2012 the project is supposed to end with an evaluation and closure conference in Belarus. With regards to content it is about new scientific insights and concepts for social inclusion of people with mental handicaps and chronically mentally ill people.
The leading member for years of the IBB programmes for further development of work with disabled people in Belarus has been Herbert Wohlhüter. The Bodelschwinghschen foundation Bethel have proven themselves as an expert cooperation partner. Wohlhüter was the chairman of the IBB from 2003 to 2008.
