The final conference on the national level in Slovakia took place on 20 June 2019 in Dunajská Streda. The conference was attended by 25 participants. As a part of the final conference were presented the activities of the coordinating organization and the results of the international project EXPERIENCE - "Innovative Educational Programme for Experts by Experience in the Form of Blended-Learning", "Guide to Implement an Innovative Training Programme for Experts by Experience" and "Brochure on Successful Life Stories", which can motivate other citizens with disabilities. An associated partner of the project, the Association for the Assistance to the People with Intellectual Disabilities, was introduced and we also dealt with practical experience obtained directly from practice in testing the training programme. Other modern on-line options (webinars and platforms) were presented to promote awareness and develop the skills of experts as well as citizens with disabilities, and last but not least new opportunities for employing disadvantaged groups in the form of social entrepreneurship. The conference was attended by representatives of counselling and training organizations, associated partners, the Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family, employers operating sheltered workshops, centre of pedagogical-psychological counselling and prevention, professional organizations to support people with disabilities, a non-profit fund to support people with disabilities, labour market research organizations and on-line counselling and private entrepreneurs operating sheltered workplaces.
