They will be encouraged to look at their own hopes, fears and motivations through workshops, times of reflection, plenary sessions and community work.

Justification
Meaningful people with disabilities and youth engagement is built on the recognition that every young person has something to contribute to continues betterment of society. Research has shown that youth who have been positively engaged and are active participants in society turn into adults with less health, career, family and societal traumas and distresses. Additionally, they are better able to handle those stresses and in turn give back to society more effectively and generously. As a result they will have a positive influence on their peers and can even be role models for younger generations. The moment this decadence is staunched, less energy and resources will be spent on corrective measures for the coming generations.
