The D-ACTIVE project aims at fostering active citizenship and learning among a particular adult target group at high risk of marginalization: persons with intellectual disability.

The project partners (both institutional and private) have recognized the following problems concerning the target group:

• difficulty in implementing activities aimed at developing key and specialist competencies (according to recommendations proposed by the European Council as in Barcelona Conference 12/05/2009 ET2020);

• difficulty in providing European methods in order to foster the concrete development of essential competencies or becoming active citizens and finding better jobs.
