The overall aim of the project was to strengthen rights and integration of national minorities (mostly those who use Russian language as means of daily communication), and especially respecting human rights of persons with disabilities by promoting growth of welfare and strengthening democratic values of this social group.
Specific aim of the project was to educate representatives from organisations which deal with national minorities on democratic and political participation aspects as well as to promote their participation in frames of their local municipalities by becoming more politically active, attracting attention from the society and promoting problem issues thereby strengthening the capacity of regional organisations.
We believe that we have fully implemented specific aim of the project by educating 10 representatives from 5 organisations on democracy and political participation aspects as well as promoted their participation within their municipalities by organizing 5 regional forums as well as attracting attention of the society by implementing 14 initiatives, promoting problem issues and strengthening 20 other organisations.

This project has significantly promoted democratical values and human rights of people with disabilities, especially in municipalities where different project activities was held.
Trained 11 participants from 5 organisations on democracy issues and communication of their related problem issues. During the project 5 regional forums on rights of people with disabilities to be involved in local municipality political processes were organized with 150 participants and 20 additional organisations involved. 11 videos on national/regional TV broadcasted and one radio discussion held. 2 big articles in the biggest Russian speaking audience weekly newspaper – one targeting persons with disabilities, other – targeting employers and entrepreneurs. 14 different activities organized in regions or Latvia with 253 people involved. Overall in each and every activity there was high representation of direct target group of this project (people with disabilities and national minorities who are disabled) and the feedback have been very positive, because these activities proved that disabled persons face lack of information and feel left alone. With an involvement in this project they were able to express themselves and gain a feeling that their problems are listened upon.
