About the project

TEAM IV aims to contribute to the social inclusion of people with disabilities by training 250 mentors specialised in supporting people with disabilities who are volunteers or wish to be volunteers. The project intends to create a platform that can be used for training and for matching mentors and mentees, with training materials in different languages.

This project will result  in providing an online training course for developing and strengthening the capacity for people to act as volunteer trained mentors through a European mentoring programme for volunteers with disabilities, through online non-formal learning methodologies. This way, TEAM IV will redefine, improve and formalise the mentoring methodology most suitable for supporting online and offline free time volunteering undertaken by people with disabilities, and contribute to their active participation in democratic and civic life, while advocating for the inclusive approach to policy makers and stakeholders across Europe.
