The PEKTUR programme is open to disabled persons registered with CRPD who want to further their studies in lifelong education, which studies may be carried out on a full-time or part-time basis. The studies will be one of the tools which will lead to individual and personal growth and to the enhancement of one's life opportunities.
Therefore, the PEKTUR programme provides an opportunity for disabled persons to seek channels of empowerment through further education. Applications from non-disabled people can be taken into consideration so long that they specifically undertake research in the area of disability studies. The policy of the PEKTUR Board shall always give priority to applications received from disabled people.
In line with the principles of lifelong education, the objective of this programme is to empower and provide financial assistance to individuals who are furthering their studies. Preference is given to those individuals who will be furthering their research in the priority areas that are proposed by CRPD.
The studies could be professional development seminars, mini-courses and special training projects in partnership with other organisations. Other similar options are considered. These grants are given subject to availability of funds and beneficiaries are expected to contribute to PEKTUR and the disability sector in Malta according to the grant awarded.
Eligible candidate can benefit up to 5,000 euros per call unless informed otherwise according to budget availability.
