Inclusion Europe is publishing a briefing on the lack of education for children with intellectual disabilities in the Coronavirus emergency.
We have just published the 1st edition of Europe for us for 2020!
Europe for us is our newsletter for self-advocates.
It is written in easy-to-read.
Eirini Kareta is EU Programmes Manager at the British Council and one of the key organisers of the project “Inclusive Schools” (“InScool”, in short). We interviewed Ms. Kareta as part of our campaign of 2020 focused on inclusive education, motivated to learn more about the InScool project.
At the end of his compulsory secondary education, Rafael Calderón was told that he wasn’t able to learn more. Now he has become the first Spanish person with Down Syndrome to obtain a professional degree in Music.
Rafael Calderón is a Spanish musician
with an intellectual disability.
He has Down Syndrome.
When he was at his secondary school,
he was told that he couldn’t learn more.
Now he has received a degree in Music.
With our new campaign, we want to raise awareness about ongoing discrimination of students with intellectual disabilities, and get a discussion going on how we can make inclusive education happen everywhere in Europe!
In 2020, Europe in Action will take place from 27 to 29 May 2020 in Vienna, Austria. The topic will be Quality education for all.
The final event of the "Inclusive Campus life" project is taking place on 27-28 November in Brussels.
On 27 and 28 November 2019,
there will be the final event for the ICLife project.

The term is beginning all over Europe, and yet many children and teenagers with intellectual disabilities don't have the right to go to school as other pupils.
