This day, every day. ✌️

Being included is also a sense of belonging and having someone you can trust. Plus: Accessible housing, preventing violence, and other notes from a conference in Copenhagen www.inclusion.eu/being-includ...

“Being included is also a sense of belonging and having someone you can trust," said minister Sophie Hæstorp Andersen quoting yesterday's panel. “We always need to remember to ask and to actually listen to the answers from people.” Can’t agree more 😉

I love Politico's use of anonymity for this kind of invaluable, hard to get insights and information

Brussels Z's. You're gonna catch them all 💤 😂

@politico.eu user experience 😘

We are excited to launch Inclusion After Hours and to see where you'll take it. forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

There are many governments in Europe (and in other places too) making lives of people with intellectual disabilities and their families harder. Cutting money for support. Allowing worse quality of services. Bringing back institutions. We won't accept backsliding. www.inclusion.eu/stronger-tog...

Impact of Brussels political impasse on people with disabilities has been simmering for some time. Now we can see it more clearly. It affects @soufianeelamrani.bsky.social among the many others. And I’m afraid transport won’t be the only area. www.linkedin.com/posts/inclus...

🇧🇪 “48.7% nursing home residents take antidepressants, compared with 34.7% of over-65s receiving home care and 12.4% of over-65s living at home without care,” “The medication use varied between one in four patients at some homes and one in eight at others.” www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/1675...

“It may sound a little melodramatic, but it is also true: such people, and allies like Unwin, are at the cutting-edge of human liberation.” @johnharris1969.bsky.social Yes! (I believe I was expressing similar sentiment eg re resilience) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Money isn't everything. But how you spend it says a lot about what really matters to you. #MFF #ThePowerOfTogether

Z Bruselu hlásím #SlaviaTV spokojenost a nemůžu se dočkat neděle tady v tom místě z nejhezčích zase po roce

I thought clear message was EP wanting dedicated social/inclusion fund.

I am at event in Brussels #AccessibleEU where I’ll speak about transport. I’m disappointed to see no provisions for accessibility for people with intellectual disabilities. No easy to read agenda or papers. Packed agenda, only 1 break. Some speakers talking very fast and complicated.

Hey you! Yes you. Have you listened to Inclusion Europe Radio yet

🎙 New episode of Inclusion Europe Radio is out! This time, I'm talking with Theresa Shearer, CEO of Enable, about leadership in NGOs and disability organisations.

Report from an event on the importance of having a job and developing skills for inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. The event was also the official launch of the Ulla Topi traineeships in inclusive policy-making. www.inclusion.eu/skills-for-i...

Nice event today at the European Parliament if I say so myself. Thank you so much Li Andersson MEP. Thank you everyone who contributed and attended. And thank you Ulla Topi. It was an honor.

Wishing @myedf.bsky.social a successful General Assembly, including a conference on the very important issue of right to decide (legal capacity). We have only the best memories of the host city Vilnius 🇱🇹, with Europe in Action 2019.

It’s called Small Supports but it’s a big thing. Certainly for people who can get out of hospitals and other institutions thanks to it. Nic Crosby tells me all about it on Inclusion Europe Radio. Press play.

Hi Bluesky. I'm here to talk about rights of people with intellectual disabilities. And about how information needs to be accessible to all. I want to hear our people with intellectual disabilities about what they would like to see their governments change and make things accessible for all.

New report. Examples and ideas for employment and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. www.inclusion.eu/examples-and...

The European Expert Group on the transition from institutional to community-based support organised an online session on better use EU money for deinstitutionalisation. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

“We want to be treated as independent human beings. We want people to take our hopes and needs seriously. We want our rights.” Ulla Topi was the first Chair of the European Platform of Self-Advocates. To honour Ulla Topi's work, our traineeships will carry her name www.inclusion.eu/skills-for-i...

Stack keeps growing. Check out the latest addition on @inclusioneurope.bsky.social website. And thank you everyone for your contributions and support. 💚💜 Together we make Europe finally end segregation people with intellectual disabilities and isolation of their families.

You likely read @desibility.bsky.social's Disability Debrief, enjoying the information and news, but most of all the clarity of message and tone. I certainly do. Now you can hear Peter talk about why and how he writes it. And about much much more. (Transcript on Inclusion Europe website)
