This year Inclusion Europe wants to talk about education.
We think that inclusive education is better
for students, teachers and parents.
Our member Enable Scotland
wants all children to feel safe
when they go to school.
In many schools, children with disabilities
are kept away from the other children.
Enable Scotland started a campaign to stop this.
The campaign is called “In Safe Hands?”.
Jordan McKenna works at Enable Scotland.
We asked Jordan some questions.
The UN CRPD committee regularly reviews states that have ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Inclusion Europe's members are active in bringing the points of view of people with intellectual disabilities and their families to the attention of the committee. Find out more about what they have been up to.
Inclusion Europe’s member Perspektiva Â
and the Best Buddies Russia Â
have organised an exhibition in Moscow.Â
The Best Buddies Russia foundation supports friendshipsÂ
between people with intellectual disabilitiesÂ
and people without intellectual disabilities. Â
The exhibition of Perspektiva and Best Buddies RussiaÂ
is called Here I am!Â
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!
