Meath Partnership IntegrateAbility Online Conference

Meath Partnership is delighted to invite you to our IntegrateAbility Online Conference on Tuesday, November 30th, 2021 via Zoom at 10.30 am – 1 pm, which will showcase a selection of support services that are available for people with disabilities that may be facing challenges related to gaining employment and/or integration. On the day, we will share key information and resources from the Bridges Erasmus+ project that addresses the challenge of social and employment integration of people with disabilities. Our free educational resources will be shared with all attendees. For more information please contact Irena: [email protected] or call: 086 026 5665.

At this event, Meath Partnership will also be introducing our new youth engagement project – Stay On. This project will begin early next year, and will present young people from rural areas, who are not currently in employment, education or training, with an exciting opportunity to create benefits, services and jobs for themselves in their own communities. We will work closely with these youths, providing coaching and training, and helping to bring their ideas to life through co-innovation labs, where local businesses will offer their support and expertise through mentoring. This project aims to empower these young people to create employment opportunities for themselves, essentially enabling them to ‘Stay On’ rural land. To learn more about the Stay On Project, you can contact me via return email, call: 046 – 9280790, or join us on Tuesday via the link below.
