On February 11, 2025, the kick-off meeting for the Erasmus+ project, ACT4DYS – Empowering People with Disabilities and Youth to Act for Sustainable Cities, took place in Porto, Portugal. Hosted by Proportional Message, the event brought together project partners CARDET (Cyprus), Proportional Message (Portugal), Innovation Training Center – ITC (Spain), Spectrum Research Centre – SRC (Ireland), and the European Disability Forum AISBL (Belgium) for their first in-person collaboration.
The meeting was a success, providing a valuable platform for the partners to align on the project’s vision, target audiences, and strategic approach. Key discussions centered on planning activities and defining the expected outcomes to support youth workers and young people, particularly those with disabilities. The initiative will tackle urban mobility challenges and climate change, with a focus on awareness, accessibility, and inclusivity.
ACT4DYS aims to empower youth to contribute to sustainable and inclusive urban environments, fostering climate action while enhancing the quality of life for individuals who rely on alternative transportation options. Partners expressed their enthusiasm and commitment to this meaningful project, looking forward to driving positive change in communities across Europe.
