Inclusion Europe and Fenacerci welcomed more than 150 participants to the Europe in Action Conference 2016.
This annual event has become an unmissable opportunity for many persons with intellectual disabilities, families, carers and representative organisations to share knowledge, experiences and ideas.
Inclusion Europe went to Barcelona for a meeting of the Human Rights working group at the offices of our member Som Fundació.
This meeting was a great opportunity to update members about our work, but also to learn their news.
Study has shown that nine of the 10 people with intellectual disabilities who were polled admitted to having experienced discrimination, while 51% of respondents believed they were part of the most discriminated group in society.
AGE Platform Europe and its members launched their Manifesto for the EU elections during an event held at the European Parliament on 5th November, demanding an Age-Friendly European Union.
Preparation for the General Meeting started at our face2face meeting in March. The General Meeting took place in May, during the Europe in Action Conference.
More than 50 people attended, most of them self-advocates.
