Abstract
21st Century Skills for Individuals with Special Needs within the Scope of the Erasmus+ REFORM Project
The REFORM Project, supported by the Erasmus+ program, aims to help individuals with disabilities adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of the 21st century. The project goes beyond traditional education by not only providing knowledge but also enhancing life skills necessary for real-world application. Through a blended learning approach, it addresses essential competencies for the labor market and social participation. The REFORM Handbook has contributed to the professional development of educators, while the REFORM Blended Learning Training Program has helped individuals with disabilities develop a wide range of skills.
The project’s impact has been broadened through face-to-face and online meetings, good practice sharing, and dissemination efforts, reaching a diverse audience. With the support of international collaborations and local implementations, the project’s outcomes have the potential for long-term sustainability. The REFORM Project, with its innovative educational methods and inclusive models, goes beyond being just a project, contributing to social transformation and sustainable development goals. These achievements mark a key milestone in shaping the future of individuals and society.
