💙 The Social Media Training brings together our partners from across Europe!
Every two weeks, we meet to learn, share, and grow — strengthening collaboration and communication across our network.

This training is part of our project’s coordination and dissemination work, helping all partners strengthen their communication skills and share our message of inclusion across Europe.

Together, we’re making our voices stronger — for inclusion, visibility, and equal participation 💪

📢 We’re building something big together!
Across Europe, self-advocates and their teachers are working hand in hand to create the founding document of the European Self-Advocacy Network — a Charter written with and for self-advocates. 💪

It will serve as the foundation for the future European Self-Advocacy Network, connecting trained self-advocates from all partner countries and giving them a united voice across Europe. 🌟

🗣️ Together, we’re shaping a Europe where every self-advocate can speak up, be heard, and make change happen.

🎥 “I want to tell the politicians and decision-makers:
Listen to us! Ask us what we need! We know what hurts us. We know what makes us feel good.” 💬

Hear from inspiring Florentina (Romania, Asociatia Fantasticii Down), trainer in the European Self-Advocacy Training.
This video was recorded at the European Parliament in Brussels during our final event in May 2025. 💙

135 young people, 9 countries, one voice:
🌍 Speaking up for respect.
🗣 Learning, growing, inspiring others.

✨ New milestone!
We’ve created the Manual of Best Practices for Inclusive, Peer-Led Self-Advocacy Across Europe — co-funded by Erasmus+.
It shares tools and lessons from 10 countries, built with and by self-advocates, sharing regional experiences and best practices on self-advocacy trainings.

👉 Stay tuned for more!

Last week we were delighted to host a Training of Trainers in Brussels as part of our European Self-Advocacy Training Program, supported by Erasmus+.

This marks an exciting step forward, as our Belgian team will soon bring the training to a full group of participants in Belgium later this September.

Together, we are building spaces where self-advocates can learn, share, and lead across Europe. 💙✨

🌍💬 As part of the Together for Inclusion project, partners have been hosting inspiring online events to share best practices, experiences from Brussels, and to promote self-advocacy.

✨ Highlights so far:
🇭🇺 Hungary – connected with their wider network, shared about the Brussels launch, heard from self-advocates, and promoted the upcoming training in the fall.
🇨🇿 Czech Republic – 39 participants, with powerful storytelling from self-advocates, parents, and potential new trainees.
🇲🇹 Malta – 38 participants, featuring videos, talks on self-advocacy, and inspiring speakers with Down syndrome.
🇷🇴 Romania – reported on the success of a recent online event, noting high engagement from young participants and a positive response.
🇵🇱 Poland – hosted an inspiring seminar in Opole on courage, independence, and self-advocacy, with strong contributions from self-advocates and partners.

💡 These events are a fantastic way to spread the word and empower self-advocates.

💡 Inclusion isn’t about making everyone fit the same format.

It’s about adapting the format — to fit the people.

Every country in our network adjusted the training to reflect their language, space, and culture.

Same goals. Different paths. That’s what real inclusion looks like.

✨ What happens when people with intellectual disabilities lead the training themselves?

💬 Everything changes.

There’s more trust. More engagement. More truth.

Self-advocates don’t just participate — they teach. They lead. And they change the room.

🎉 Throwback to an unforgettable evening at the Liszt Institute Brussels! 🎉

During the final European Self-Advocates meeting in May, we gathered for an Intercultural Evening — and it was full of talent, laughter, and connection. 💫

🇪🇺 Every country shared something special: traditional foods, music, dance, speeches, and more. We celebrated diversity, creativity, and friendship across borders. From heartfelt performances to delicious homemade treats — it was a night to remember!

📽️ Stay tuned for reels from this magical part of the Brussels event — coming soon!
