As part of the project, all partners collected good practices. In order to cover the whole field, the work focused on three target groups / three levels.

The collection of good practices and the analysis of data allowed us to look at existing experiences in different countries in relation to all target groups and at all levels, but with a particular focus on the international level.

A total of 333 good practices were collected and evaluated during the project. Most of them in English (278), but a significant number are also in Bulgarian (32) and Turkish (19).

Although some of the good practices are not in English, all of the descriptions are, and can be translated and adapted as needed (at the request of Asian partners).

Title of practice:	Enabling Access for Persons with Disabilities to Higher Education and Workplace-Role of ICT and Assistive Technologies
Author/developer:	Diana Joseph
Language:	English
Description of good practice:	If we were to look at efforts across the nation, we see struggles at various quarters to ensure inclusion of persons with disabilities (PWDs), as they lack many opportunities available to the mainstream populace. The rights enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, would be enough to protect everyone, ideally. However in practice, certain groups such as PWDs, specifically women and children with disabilities, fare far worse than others. International conventions are in place to protect and promote the human rights of these groups, with access to education being one of the basic rights.
