Spain
Transformando is a non-profit social cooperative founded in 1998. We strive to enable socially-excluded individuals to successfully integrate society and the workplace. We provide and promote the use of tools required to set up businesses that will generate incomes, encourage self-employment, increasepeoples's concern and participation in their surrounding environments through associations. We also support third sector entities by helping them to better manage thier organizations at an internal level as well as the completion of intervention project in Spain and impoverished countries. TF counts with a large experience in training and advising people at risk of exclusion in their process of business creation. Most of our beneficiaries have been migrants. The relevant experience for this partership is the one coming from the areas of work: Micro-companies and social economy entities, Microfinance and financial education and Consultancy and trainig services offered to non-profit entities. In the area of micro-companies, we design and provide complete self-employment progrmas aimed at groups of population suffering from exclusion at a social and work level. These include contents, modules and a methodology specifically designed to adapt to the needs of these individuals. We do training, mentoring and train trainers. In 2007, we were awarded a secnd proze by the Ministry of Education and Science for the quality of our "Lacer" project focusing on methods of training and counsaltancy services adapted to immigrants provided to promote the creation of businesses within the Leonardo Da Vinci program (2003-2006). In 2008 we develop a method for teaching transversally entrepreneurship in secondary schools of the Braque cuontry (Region of North of Spain). In 2008-2009 we create a business launcher a platform to give support to migrants willing to create their business. The launcher has been recognizedas a good practice in various European pubblications. In the area of Microfinance and financial education: we enable unprivileged groups of population to access souerces of funding and also teach them to use money available appropriately when making decisions related to low-scale matters. We participated in the ABACO project ("Adult Basic Accountng and Control of Overindebtedness"): www.abaco-project.eu.

The most important area activity is training new trainers joined with NGO sector and developing qualifications of the professional ones. STOP Trainers' School is an answer to a strong need expressed by numerous activists of non-governmental organisations to create polish training called "Training for Trainers". It is addressed to persons, whi work in third sector and plan to actively engage in the training work for NGOs. We also organize such school for the different branches, for example Family Mediations School of Trainers and courses for trainers for representatives of NGO's: The Networ of Information and Support for Non-Governmental Organizations SPLOT or employees of Labour - Market Institutions. We're taking part in Library Development Program - Trining of Trainers for Librarians, Idea of such project: supporting librarians in development of educational skills, wich empowers local communities, specially from rural areas (community education, library as community and educational center) and librarians as professionals - they cam share knowledge and experience within "library environment" - they are real experts in many or their professional fields, they need methodological support.

The project
The project intends to deepen the role of educational activities in blind and visually impaired people's life in Europe, especially in relation to non formal and informal learning opportunities, as a way to improve personal knowledge and interests and increase useful competences for every day life.
Thanks to the support of new technologies, problems concerning the accessibility are going to be reduced. But there's still a strong need of families involvement whereas oldest people are obliged to keep abreast of new tools.
Different experimentations have been conducted to permit blind people cultural interaction: audio-book, museum and city audio-guides, artworks touch tours.
Visual handicao in Europe:
Another important topic is related to the European differences on rights and economical resources accessibility, both elements of great importance for useful activities to be carried on and social inclusion to be helped.
Our project intends to:
- sensitize European peolple to blind and visually impaired people's problems;
- improve activities, strateggies and good practices in order to help thei social and working inclusion;
- look for new opportunities and ways to improve the actual situation.
Visual handicap and active citizenship:
Associations working with blind and visually impaired peolple have wide competences in the field of active citizenship that often have been achieved during their fight for rights. This is a very important fact for visually handicapped people and their own families.
This Project intends to create a network among associations working on this topic so that the different experiences could be globally shared.
