Goal: to increase the competences of teachers in cooperation with parents and children and leads to higher educational output for the children
Objectives: Ready to use, web based/live distance education kit will be prepared for the students who cannot attend school. Ongoing educational facilities at school will be transferred (computer, camera, microphone etc.) to students’ house via web based services.
Supporting access to educational opportunities through distance education.

* disability types,
* trauma and coping methodologies,
* communication methodologies,
* legal rights for disabled individuals ect.
Teacher training set will be prepared for teachers who are in charge of training the students whom are disabled/ill and engaged at home. The education materials will consist of knowledge which will help the teacher to provide positive attitude towards students and the parents as well. The material will also consist of knowledge about educational techniques coping with students' disability type. The material kit will be provided as a web-based material and as a written material as well. The material will be published on project's web page. The partner countries will translate and share the material.
