A music festival for people with intellectual disabilities is set to take place in Norway for the seventh successive year in 2015.
Morodalsfestivalen will be held from 12 to 13 June 2015 in the town of Sagstua, Norway, approximately 90 kilometres from Oslo.
The festival is accessible for all, and can cater for people with intellectual disabilities attending the event as well as hosting musical performers with intellectual disabilities.
Her Majesty Queen Sofia has been a longtime campaigner for the work carried out by FEAPS, even serving as President of the organisation. During her term as FEAPS President , the then Princess Sofia visited a number of occupational centres in cities such as Guipuzcoa and Madrid.
The confederation will pay special tribute to the families of children with intellectual disabilities who joined forces five decades ago to create what is now FEAPS, and provide services that efficiently meet the needs of disabled children.
Today, the hard-work and courage of the children and their families boasts an association of 884 local branches spread across the Spanish territories, supporting more than 139,700 people with intellectual disabilities through a professional network of 40,000 people as well as 8,000 volunteers.
The fight for equal rights for people with intellectual disabilities in Spain has also led to significant improvements in leisure, education and employment opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities as well as in the healthcare services afforded to them.
