| Description | The aim of the project is to map the situation of employability for people with disabilities in the labor market. The focus is on the methods and techniques of education for personal development (Czech Republic X Austria on the basis of ongoing collaboration with Dr. Maria Dinold from the University of Vienna). The concept of this research is based on the theory of Lazarová and Kolar (2007) about the methods of personality development. They look outwards on the 4 major areas: 1. path to yourself- focuses on the individual person and his relation to oneself (relaxation and psychomotor games; 2. to the others- is the practice of those social skills that enable a person to improve relations in society (social and psychological training, social "experiment" method); to the self-transcendence- is meant in terms of human development, which is close to the ideal of an autonomous, tolerant and non- ideological-oriented man (active listening, group games); to the profession- is about development of man's relation to the profession and development of skills that are associated with its demands (assertive behavior method, brainstorming, simulation games, stimulant techniques). The target group is the people with disabilities (physical, auditory, visual or mental) in the age of 18-30 years. The key research methods are questionnaires, comparison, interviews and practical application of methods of personal development on the target group of clients. There are 22 organizations that are mapped in the area of Brno. Preliminarily results are four meetings with use of appropriate techniques for personal development, especially in the field of applied and non-traditional physical activities.
