The event titled “Self-Advocates and Employment: My Talents for the Future”, brought together people involved or interested in the employment of people with intellectual disabilities.

On the 24th of November from 15:00-16:30 CET, Inclusion Europe organised an online event "Work to Inclusion: Jobs for people with intellectual disabilities in the labour market" as part of the “My Talents. For Diversity” project. As the goal of the project is to foster the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in the open labour market through diversity management, in this event companies shared their perspective, experiences and knowledge of employing people with intellectual disabilities.

Inclusion Europe published a new edition of Europe for us for 2020! Europe for us is our newsletter for self-advocates. It is written in easy-to-read.

With the majority of people with intellectual disabilities being unemployed, it is important to raise awareness on the importance of offering jobs to them and changing their lives for the better.
