People with intellectual disabilities and their family members all around Europe face segregation, discrimination, and their rights are being denied on daily basis. We want to change this, and we will.
We know how to achieve it. There are good laws and tools in many countries. All of you as our members, and plenty other organisations, are doing a lot of very good work. What is needed is to help this good work to be available to everyone. To use the good stuff people and organisations do, and help others see it, understand it, and implement it. To help good things spread to more places, benefiting more people.
That is where Tuesday at Two Tutorials come in. This is a start to a new program Inclusion Europe puts in place for you, our members, to share your good work, and to learn from others.
These 1 hour long online sessions start every Tuesday at 2PM (Brussels time). Each session opens with a specific case of a piece of work that deals with one the many aspects of inclusion. And that may be worth learning about, and discussing, seeing how it can be developed further and elsewhere. This is followed by conversation with participants about various aspects of the case, and about their own experience working on a given issues. Each session is beneficial both for participants, and for the session leader. Everyone can learn, and contribute.
We are looking forward to seeing our members on Tuesday at Two.
You can watch the recordings and read the summaries of the tutorials here.
Future tutorials
This latest tutorial will be on the topic of ‘how to put the UN CRPD into practice locally’ by Inclusie Nederland.
Inclusie Nederland will talk about two of their projects:
– The ‘UN Ambassador’-project focuses on applying the UN CRPD locally by spreading information about the convention with the help of ambassadors.
– The ‘Inclusie Borrel’-project was created at the start of the Covid-pandemic as a way to connect while everyone had to stay inside.
With these two projects, Inclusie Nederland works towards putting the UN CRPD into practice to create a more inclusive society.
Once a month, Inclusie Nederland organises an online discussion forum on an important topic regarding inclusion.
Join us to discuss in what other ways we can spread awareness on the UN CRPD locally.
