Methodology

The project’s methodology is based on equal partnership among academics, governments and community, with a particular focus on the social model of disability, gender equality, and knowledge transfer. The project will provide an opportunity for all three levels of government to participate in the implementation of the project including the national level (Kyiv); regional level (Lviv and Crimea); and, the municipal level (Lviv and Simferopol). A central assumption is that sustainable social change rests upon a foundation of partnership that is closely linked to the target population.
