Le DuoDay est un évènement  européen pour favoriser le changment de regard sur l'handicap. Il permet à une personne handicapée de composer un dou avec un  professionnel durant une journée et de s'immerger dans son quotidien. Pour les personnes handicapées, c'est la possibilité de découvirir un métier ou un secteur d'activité. Pour les entreprises, c'est l'opportunité de sensibiliser leurs équipes, de dépasser les préjugés et de découvrir les compétences et les qualités professionelles de ces personnes.

In this brand new, one-day conference, we explore the relationships between autism, gender, and sexuality.

The Annual Convention for Inclusive Growth is an action-oriented platform bringing together civil society organisations and policymakers to discuss how to achieve truly inclusive growth. Its fourth edition will take place in Brussels on 20 May 2019.

Introduction to the European Standard EN 17161 “Design for All - Accessibility following a Design for All approach in products, goods and services - Extending the range of users” and European Commission Mandate 473 on Design for All

At this conference, we will listen to people with first-hand experience on the topic: people with intellectual disabilities themselves and their parents. We will also be hearing form specialists working in the field or doing research. The event will be a space for discussion, for exchanging opinions and sharing experiences of how to overcome certain barriers and worries. We hope that through the diversity of speakers, the conference will be a good opportunity for opening up new perspectives, raising awareness of the importance of these themes, and for potential cooperation.
