PRIMAE
Participation and Recreation through Inclusive Martial Arts Education and E-Learning (PRIMAE) will create an innovative digital platform that will provide e-learning in coach education and training to and for persons with a disability. The platform will empower and enable persons with a disability to develop as inclusive, person-centred martial arts coaches, providing an educational pathway to become
tutors and assessors of qualifications on the qualification frameworks of different countries in Europe. PRIMAE also aims to improve the knowledge, skills and competences (KSC) of coaches and tutors,
assessors and internal quality assurers in the field of education, training and employment, and especially for persons with a disability, at a world level. The addition of specialist inclusive modules will give the opportunity for users of the website resources to develop a degree of specialism in a key aspect of inclusive practice and disability
martial arts (such as wheelchair users, those with sensory impairments, or specific martial arts styles). PRIMAE will create active
inclusion through empowering the most disadvantaged people in society to fully participate in sport and physical activity (martial arts), education, training and employment, especially persons with a disability who face significant challenges to their integration.The principles of PRIMAE draw strongly from Hart’s Ladder of Participation. Applied to the social exclusion of persons with a disability, Hart’s Ladder shows that active participation means the full integration of persons with a disability including them in every aspect of an issue. Working in partnership as equals with non-disabled people is the most effective way to resolve the issues that persons with a disability may face. Persons with a disability have been involved in the development of the PRIMAE project from the outset. They will inform and participate in the creation of an e-learning platform which will be used to educate persons with a disability who are not ordinarily able to participate in formal education.
