The European Platform of Self-Advocates (EPSA) and Evpit invite you to Hear our Voices! 2023.
Hear our Voices! is a meeting of self-advocates, organised by self-advocates.
More than 100 self-advocates meet at Hear our Voices! to talk about what is important to us, and to learn from one another.
The conference takes place in Tallinn, Estonia from 20 to 22 September 2023.
Registrations closed. We reached full capacity.
Hear our voices! Strong, loud and clear!
Make it real!
The main topic of the conference is: Make it real! How to promote self-advocacy in countries where it is not strong.
There will be workshops led by self-advocates, who share their experience in different ways self-advocacy works:
- How they came to be a self-advocate.
- What it takes to organise self-advocacy groups and organisations.
- What a good support to self-advocate looks like.
- Where self-advocates speak to share their views and knowledge.
There will be discussions about what governments and organisations need to do to support and include self-advocates.
Self-advocates being strong, loud and clear at the “Hear our Voices” conference
“We want to see many self-advocates in Tallinn”
“I hope to see as many self-advocates in Tallinn as possible,” László Bercse says. László is chair of EPSA.
“It feels good to work together with a group of fantastic people in EPSA for our goals. I can also learn a lot from other self-advocates working with EPSA.”
The conference is organised by The European Platform of Self-Advocates (EPSA) and EVPIT. It is the first in-person Hear our Voices! self-advocacy conference since 2019, because of Covid.
“Having the conference in Tallinn is a great opportunity to develop self-advocacy in Estonia and other countries where it may not be so strong,” say EVPIT. “We hope many people come to the conference, so that we can learn from them. And we can share our work here in Estonia too.”
