If you are actively trying to make society accessible to French people with intellectual disabilities, you can now promote your initiatives through Les Victoires de l’accessibilité contest (Accesibility Victories, in French).

Debating Europe, the European Disability Forum (EDF) and the European Union of the Deaf (EUD) have launched a series of online debates focusing on issues concerning disability, discrimination and accessibility in the European Union (EU). The initiative wants to raise awareness of the many problems Europeans with disabilities are facing daily.
