People with intellectual disabilities 
are people like everybody else.

Self-advocacy means that people with intellectual disabilities speak up for themselves.

There are many self-advocates in Europe!

Inclusion Europe wants to support them.

We do this in many ways.

For example, we set up the European Platform of Self-Advocates.

It is called EPSA for short.

We organise a conference for self-advocates
every two years.

The conference is called “Hear our Voices”.

We also organise leadership trainings for self-advocates

every year.

Learn more about our leadership trainings.

We publish a newsletter in easy-to-read
with news for self-advocates.

It is called “Europe for Us”.

It is published in 7 languages.

We did a video that explains how we support self-advocacy.

Watch the video:

Our work brings the voice of people with intellectual disabilities and their families where decisions about their future are made.

This has always been incredibly important. It is even more so with the Covid pandemic drastic impact on their rights and lives.

Being visible and vocal on issues directly affecting millions of people requires your support.
