Improving the accessibility of buildings for students with disabilities in higher education institutions in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, including social advancement institutions offering higher education courses.
The aim of the Inclusion Projects? To promote and encourage the inclusion of students with disabilities and improve their access to higher education buildings in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation!
In accordance with the decree of 3 May 2019 governing measures relating to higher education and research, the Government awards an annual subsidy to ARES to cover, in whole or in part, the organisation of an annual call for projects aimed at higher education institutions (including, where applicable, social advancement educational institutions providing higher education).
This call for projects is organised by ARES, in collaboration with the Government services.
ARES intends to strengthen efforts to promote inclusion within higher education institutions (HEIs) on a long-term basis by installing accessible facilities and/or equipment in HEI buildings. The main objective is to improve the daily lives of students with disabilities within HEIs.
These projects aim to offer students with all types of disabilities better access to learning activities and improve their daily lives, promoting their academic success and future access to the job market.
Applications submitted through this call for projects must aim to promote inclusion through infrastructure or equipment adaptations.
As such, HEIs are invited to submit a variety of project proposals aimed at reducing barriers related to the various disabilities specified in the following point. The projects targeted by this call must fall within the definition of inclusive higher education and promote the inclusion of students with disabilities.
At the end of this call for projects and the effective deployment of the selected projects, the daily lives of students with disabilities should be made easier within the beneficiary institutions thanks to the measures that will be taken and implemented.
