In the 2018/19 winter semester, the Faculty of Social Sciences is organizing the public lecture series "The Federal Participation Act (BTHG) and its (possible) consequences for the region" in cooperation with the TRAWOS Institute. With a view to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the BTHG has been helping to enable full and effective social and cultural participation for people with disabilities since 2017. Individual needs assessment and participation planning for a self-determined lifestyle should be person-centered and cross-agency. In four phases (2017-2020), integration assistance will be separated from social welfare and developed into an independent benefit and participation law (SGB IX). People with disabilities, their self-advocacy groups (associations, clubs, etc.) and families are actively involved in this transition process. Participation advice is provided independently of providers and on the basis of peer counseling (advice for those affected by those affected). Relatives and professionals in the existing education system, in the previous working or living environment are required to provide people with disabilities with comprehensive information about their (human) rights and opportunities for participation and, if necessary, to assist them in exercising them. At present, there is still a great deal of uncertainty among service providers and providers of disability assistance as to how this far-reaching "system change" can be implemented in practice. From January 2019, for example, a new needs assessment procedure will be established throughout Saxony with integrated participation planning (ITP), which still raises many questions. The aim of this lecture series is to give different stakeholders a chance to have their say in order to explore the opportunities and barriers associated with the implementation of the BTHG. Following the lectures, there will be an opportunity to talk to each other.
The venue (lecture building G I Hermann-Heitkamp-Haus (blue building), lecture hall 2) is barrier-free for people with limited mobility.
Target group: People with disabilities and their family members, stakeholders in child and youth welfare and disability services, school staff, students
