Particip.Age: Supporting community participation and social inclusion of Ageing People with Intellectual Disabilities - Stakeholder Analysis Report

This report provides a summary of the methodology and results of a stakeholder analysis on barriers and facilitators of social inclusion and community participation from the perspectives of both ageing people with intellectual disabilities and staff who support this population. The stakeholder analysis sought to examine the relevance of identified key barriers and facilitators through the exploration of lived experiences in both these populations. The stakeholder analysis survey was developed in partnership with six project organisations: University of Galway (Ireland), European Platform for Rehabilitation (Belgium), Medea (Italy), Panagia Eleousa (Greece), Mariaberg e.V. (Germany) and Spain (Fundación Intras). Data was collected by the project’s partnership organisations across five different European countries: Greece (Panagia Eleousa), Germany (Mariaberg e.V.), Spain (Fundación Intras) and Ireland (Rehab Group), with results being analysed by the University of Galway (Ireland) team. The stakeholder analysis was conducted over several European countries to identify the importance of certain barriers and facilitators, and explore the similarities and differences across countries, so that a clearer understanding of the topic could be developed.

The report is a result of Particip.Age, an Erasmus + funded project with the aim of supporting community participation and social inclusion of Ageing People with Intellectual Disabilities
