Kick-off Meeting in Vilnius
The Kick-off Meeting took place from 27.-29.01.2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania. LNF - the Lithuanian Disability Forum hosted the partnership and kindly shared their experiences in mainstreaming an awareness for the needs of persons with disabilities into civil protection. They also arranged meetings with representatives from the Lithuanian Ministry of Interior, the Firefighter Academy, the municipality of Vilnius and the Red Cross. The project consortium had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the experiences in this field with the Lithuanian representatives. Very valuable information was passed on and helps us to shape the project's outline. The next steps wil be focus group interviews with different groups of persons with disabilities and expert interviews with representatives of civil protection organisations.
Team Meeting in Vienna
The second partner meeting took place from 14.–15.11.2026 in Vienna, Austria. The partnership came together to review the progress made since the kick-off meeting in Vilnius and to discuss the next phase of the project. The partners presented and discussed the first results of the focus group interviews with persons with disabilities and of the expert interviews with representatives of civil protection organisations. The exchange showed how important it is to include the needs and experiences of persons with disabilities in all areas of civil protection. The consortium also used the meeting to share experiences from the different partner countries and to agree on common priorities. The results of the meeting will help us to develop the project’s outputs further. The next steps will be to analyse the interview results in more detail and to start working on the project materials.
