Celebrating the largest event in the history of Inclusion International, 2.700 people with intellectual disabilities, family members, policy makers and professionals from more than 80 countries gathered under the slogan “Transforming Global Rights into Action” at the 15th World Congress of Inclusion International from 16-19 June 2010 in Berlin.
Some high-level speakers of world organizations have recently confirmed their presence at the World Congress of Inclusion International. The World Congress will take place in Berlin, Germany in June. So far 1,855 participants from more than 60 countries have registered.
Today sees the launch of the website for our new project: “Children’s Rights for All”! The project aims to improve the rights of some one million children with intellectual disabilities throughout the European Union.
The 15th World Congress of Inclusion International 16-19 June in Berlin will be one of the most accessible events of its kind worldwide. Full physical accessibility for users of wheelchairs is guaranteed throughout the Congress venue.
There are around one million children with intellectual disabilities aged between 0-17 throughout the European Union. These children often find themselves subject to discrimination and exclusion from society, and are frequently denied the right to good quality education, healthcare, recreation and services.
The World Congress of Inclusion International provides a unique social platform for people with intellectual disabilities, their families, service providers and decision-makers to exchange knowledge and experience on disability issues and to pave the way for improving the daily lives of people with intellectual disabilities.
