2 June, 09:00-13:00 | European Parliament (TBC) | International Sign Interpretation will be available

What is the new role of organisations that want to be of support for persons with disabilities? What do users want service providers to do to promote inclusion and implement the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD)? There is a need to reinforce cooperation between persons with disabilities, public authorities and support services organisations to develop comprehensive policies and to facilitate the right support services. European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities (EASPD) is organising a panel debate with Members of the European Parliament, Disabled Persons Organisations (DPOs) and support services organisations on how to reinforce “users’ involvement in all aspects of support services”.

This event will take place on 2 June 2015 from 09:00 to 13:00 and will be a great opportunity to address:

• EASPD’s multiannual strategy implementation: Reaching Out
• The research paper “Strengthening the workforce for people with disabilities: initial mapping across Europe”
• The list of questions published by the United Nations following up the evaluation of the report submitted by the European Union on the implementation of the CRPD.
• Co-production and the implementation plan of the European Disability Strategy

The event will bring together Members of the European Parliament, representatives from European DPOs and the support services sector.

To register, please contact: EASPD Communications Officer, Nieves Tejada.
