EEG

Helena Dalli is a Commissioner at the European Commission. She was one of the speakers at a conference about deinstitutionalisation.

The EEG has written a text about deinstitutionalisation in Europe. The text was presented at a conference on inclusion this week.

Getting people out of institutions is a human rights obligation. The EU has done a lot in the 10 past years to achieve this, but there is still a long way to go.

On Thursday 16 January 2020, the EEG group is organising a conference at the European Commission. called “Towards inclusion”.

The European Expert Group on the Transition from Institutional to Community-based Care (EEG) will hold the "Towards Inclusion conference" on 16 January in Brussels, Belgium.

The purpose of the checklist is to ensure EU funds in the 2021-2027 programming period contribute to independent living and inclusion in the community.

The EEG has worked together with “Hope and homes for children” to make sure that people who live in institutions can move from institutions to the community.
