Events

26-28 May | Hotel Tivoli Oriente, Av. Dom João II, 1990-083, Lisbon, Portugal

Inclusion Europe has partnered with its Portuguese national member Fenacerci to run an engaging event that will address inclusive education and the role of families in the promotion and implementation of an inclusive school.

The struggle for inclusive education is one of the areas where inclusion organisations have been involved since their inception, considering that only schools built on diversity and interaction promote equality in person-centered responses, opportunities and responding to specific educational needs, with the ultimate goal of success of the educational process. With this conference, Inclusion Europe intends to address and reflect on some fundamental issues that have been at the core of the debate on inclusive schools.

As every year, several meetings and events will also take place during the week of the conference:

• On 25 May, a seminar on monitoring the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will be organised, as well as a meeting of the EPSA Steering Group, self-advocates’ preparation meetings and the meeting of the Board of Inclusion Europe.
• On 27 May, EPSA General Meeting.
• On 28 May, the Inclusion Europe Annual General Assembly will take place, followed by a Board meeting of Inclusion Europe.

‘Europe in action’ conferences always serve as a common platform for discussion, sharing of knowledge and experiences for professionals, families and people with intellectual disabilities. Inclusion Europe is looking forward to welcoming participants for three days of enriching and eye-opening discussions.
