Cseresznyes Emilia is the founder and
president of the "We believe that they are important" association,
founded in 2003 in order to provide daily activities to young adults
with multiple disabilities leaving formal education at Baraolt.
One of the aims of the association is to emphasize the competencies
of these young people and thus to develop their abilities. It is the
only institution in the region which offers daily care with short
programs, with qualified professionals who provide appropriate
development for those with moderate or multiple disabilities.
They consider it important to achieve integration on a group level,
to open ways towards acceptance. The permanent staff of the association
is completed by volunteers.
The association has already
participated in a European mobility project, Youth in Action, in
October, 2009. However, the association does not have extended
international training experience, therefore they intend to build the
experiences gained through this partnership directly into their daily
activities.
