self-advocacy

Inclusion Europe published a new edition of Europe for us for 2020! Europe for us is our newsletter for self-advocates. It is written in easy-to-read.

This year, because of the COVID-19 situation, training for self-advocates was done online. By doing this we were able to reach more people. We had 93 registrations for the events and 71 attendees.

László Bercse, Chair of the European Platform of Self-Advocates and the Vice-President of Inclusion Europe, speaks about the impact of Covid 19 on lives of persons with disabilities.
