Bridging the Gap launches the Webinar-based Training Cycle 2018-2019
Bridging the Gap launches a webinar-based training cycle to foster a culture of disability mainstreaming in development and to define a homogeneous approach to the project crosscutting topics.
The first webinar focuses on understanding the CRPD and analysing its principles and structure will take place on 26 March 2018.
Following the first session, the Learning Spaces will develop and estimated eleven webinars tentatively focused on:
- The SDGs and their references to disability

The webinars will be prepared and conducted by international experts selected by Bridging the Gap II. Experts have been/will be instructed to provide interactive, replicable and shareable. Already existing tools, documents and networks will be used.
Each webinar will be conducted in English, French and Spanish in separate sessions, as much as possible. Other languages may be added based on the availability of experts and/or material.
Target audiences
The webinar cycle is addressed to the three target groups of the project, namely:
- Development practitioners (for instance: agencies, EU delegations)
- National institutions of the partner countries
- National organisations of persons with disabilities
The audience may vary according to the topic object of the webinar.
Webinar duration
Each webinar lasts for one hour and a half.
