About
Empowerment means
- thinking about what you want
- making your own decisions
- speaking up for yourself
In 2018, Inclusion Europe turned 30 years old!
And we thought that “Empowerment” was a very good topic for this year.
On this page, you can read more about the year of our birthday
and about empowerment.

She congratulated us for our birthday:
30 years is a long time!
We wrote an article about 30 highlights from the past.
We also wrote about the 10 things we are working on right now.
