We tested the idea to develop the educational aspirations of the disabled in a multimedia game approach. Our aim was to develop IT and social interactive skills. Right from the start the game concept to tech skills to the disable received enthusiastic support from many special education teachers working with the disabled, game developers, volunteers working with the disabled and political leaders' active in supporting social inclusion. In addition, our pilot project identified another target group, the service and support staff who work with the disabled. A number of the staff is e-Excluded and lack basic computer skills, although a number are interested in learning these skills.
