The project intended to develop, test, adapt, exchange and adopt innovative practices relating to inclusive dance training for adults with and without disabilities. The partnership developed new pedagogical approaches and particular e-learning tools and open educational resources which are supported from an on-line collaborative platform where adults/amateur dancers, professional dancers and teachers with and without disabilities are able to learn, teach and evaluate the expected learning outcomes.
The four partnering institutions devoted their efforts to:
1. offer transnational learning opportunities for disabled adults and dance educators
2. address the need to support disabled people as artistic leaders
3. introduce more attractive education and training programmes, in line with individual needs and expectations
4. respond to the demand for practical professional skills development toolkits
5. use participatory approaches and ICT based methodologies
6. introduce a major web resource for professional skills development and promotion of European disabled dancers
7. build on the experience of previous programmes and initiatives
8. work with a broader range of arts Educators, including more nationally significant organisations in the field of dance
