The aim of the course is to investigate the issue of the labor integration of people with disabilities. Work is a crucial factor in achieving the social inclusion of people with disabilities, which seems to be significantly affected by the still negative social stereotypes. The main objective of the course is the students to acquire a comprehensive picture of the current employment situation of people with disabilities, their capabilities / skills, the ways in which they enter the labor market, the problems they face in their working relationships, the required support  and the measures to be taken to achieve their equal labor market participation.

The content of the course is divided into the following main thematic sections, concerning:

• the existing employment situation of people with disabilities. This section analyzes the forms of employment exclusion suffered by people with disabilities and provides statistics on their employment and unemployment rates in Greece and other EU countries.
• the legislative framework of our country for: a) the integration of people with disabilities into the public and private sector, with specific references to the field of law protection, the incentives of the law to employers for the recruitment of people with disabilities, regulation of their working relationships and ways of ending their employment relationship; (b) the prohibition of discrimination against people with disabilities due to their disability or other protected characteristics such as sex or nationality; and (c) the sheltered employment of people with disabilities. This section identifies the missing / problematic legislative points and makes suggestions accordingly.
• the employers’ attitudes regarding the employment of people with disabilities and the ways to improve them/ benefits from the employment of people with disabilities and the impact of their recruitment on the market.
• the concepts of ‘social work support’, ‘access’, ‘accessibility’, ‘reasonable adjustments’, ‘special adjustments’, ‘universal design’ and their importance in the daily routine of people with disabilities.
• the vocational skills required for people with disabilities to successfully integrate into work/ the valuation of the abilities and the vocational interests of people with disabilities/ ways to succeed at interviews and in their job.

The aim of the course is to explore the access to employment and work for people with disabilities in the European Union. Starting from the assumption of the importance of the employment factor for the full social integration of people with disabilities, the main objective of the course is to provide students with a comprehensive picture of the characteristics and developments in the European labor market for people with disabilities focusing on the existing legislative framework and the applied employment policies.

In this direction, the content of the course is divided into the following main thematic sections, concerning:

• the presentation of the general picture of the labor market for people with disabilities in Greece and in the rest of the countries in the European Union, as well as the presentation of the participation of people with disabilities in the workforce, the characteristics of their employment (permanent, temporary and other flexible employment forms) and the characteristics of the unemployment by which they are plagued,
• the presentation of existing employment policies for people with disabilities in Greece and in the countries of the European Union, with particular emphasis on active employment policies, the analysis of strategies and good practices, the examination of the implementation of these programs as well as the examination of the formulation of the above in the period of the economic crisis with obvious implications for the development of the labor costs for people with disabilities and of their labor relations,
• the analysis of the legal framework of Greece and of other European Union countries regarding the “protection” of persons with disabilities for their labor market integration. Through the results of the implementation of the legislative framework and the comparison among the European countries, are pointed out the positive and negative effects. Finally, students are expected to make on their own thorough proposals for the improvement of the legislative background and the employment policies of people with disabilities.

The purpose of this course is to investigate the mobbing phenomenon within the workplace against people with disabilities. Work, a key factor in achieving full social integration of people with disabilities, is particularly affected during the period of economic crisis, resulting in systematic negative attitudes at the workplace. The main objective of the course is students to be able to identify a hostile work environment and the problematic behaviors involved, the rights of mobbing victims, as well as the ways of preventing it.

The course content is divided into the following main thematic sections:

• analysis of international terms ‘mobbing’, ‘workplace bullying’, ‘workplace harassment’, ‘sexual harassment’, ‘emotional abuse’, highlighting their essential similarities or differences.
• the causes that motivate the phenomenon at the workplace.
• the categories of workplace mobbing, the stages of the phenomenon, but also the impact on the victims and on the businesses / organizations.
• sexual harassment, which, depending on its duration, may be included in the forms of mobbing or may be differentiated as a related concept.
• answers to the questions: What are the victims and their individual characteristics? What is the role of viewers? Students are invited through experiential exercises to experience, understand, judge, take initiative, identify problems, and look for solutions.
• the European Union’s institutional framework for tackling mobbing. The EU's interest in this phenomenon, the relevant Directives, Agreements and Resolutions with a view to preventing, identifying and managing the phenomenon are discussed. The existence of a non-specific protective framework for disability from mobbing at work within the EU is analyzed and examples of political and institutional frameworks in individual EU countries are given.
• Greece's legislative framework for tackling mobbing in the workplace. This section assesses the effectiveness of the existing system, highlighting gaps / problematic legislative issues and submitting proposals. A special section is devoted to prevention methods.
