#ThisTimeWeAreVoting! – Brussels, Belgium

26/02/2019 @ 1 h 30 min - 15 h 00 min

People with intellectual disabilities are eager and ready to vote. Why do the European elections matter to them and what makes electoral participation possible for them? Join Inclusion Europe for a discussion at the European Parliament.

We will talk about this topic at the launch of our manifesto on the European elections.

At the event, the Fundamental Rights Agency will present their updated report on “The right to political participation for persons with disabilities”.
