These are some of the questions we&rsquo;ll be talking about at the conference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The right to live independently\u00a0will be another topic, closely linked to decision-making. We will speak about the progress Lithuania\u00a0and other countries have made in\u00a0ensuring this right, and about what it means for families when a person with an intellectual disability\u00a0prepares for an independent\u00a0life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The specific situation of people with complex support needs will always be taken into account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">What will happen at the conference?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">At this\u00a0conference, 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">How can I register?<\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/europeinaction.org\/register\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To register, please fill in the registration form.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Europe in Action is an annual conference which brings together more than 200 people with intellectual disabilities, their families and professionals.\u00a0The conferences are organised by\u00a0Inclusion Europe\u00a0and a national partner organisation (Inclusion Europe member).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":29466,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-29465","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/29465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/29465\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29473,"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/29465\/revisions\/29473"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29465"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autismeurope.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=29465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
