Stories of successful practices will be collected from the media, from social networks among personalities, people with hearing or other disabilities. Each partner will develop three such stories involving typical and mostly special needs persons and present them in a visually attractive and creative manner, also having an important motivational role for the readers. These may also include short videos or podcasts.
