Look at those amazing people! 😍

📢 Today is the International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPD)! 📢
A day to celebrate inclusion, dignity, and the voices of self-advocates across Europe. 🇪🇺

As part of the European Self-Advocacy Project, our community is joining together for a simple but powerful message:

I am 🌟 I can 💪 I will 🎯

Self-advocates from last year’s and this year’s trainings — and anyone who wants to join — are sharing short videos or photos using this structure in their own words. 🗣

Let’s amplify their voices and show what self-advocacy looks like in everyday life across Europe.

Thursday Throwback 🌟
This year we hosted two Self-Advocacy Trainings in Belgium — one in September and one in October — bringing together motivated participants ready to strengthen their advocacy skills.

We’re excited to share that our new partner L’Arche L'Arche Bruxelles will continue this journey in 2026 by launching their own advocacy training — a concrete example of how the initiatives sparked by the European Self-Advocacy Project will carry on even after the project has officially ended.

Empowering more self-advocates across Europe — step by step! 💙💛✨

💙 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.

Check out this great event from our partners in Czech Republic 🇨🇿 Rytmus! Over 50 self-advocates met in Prague to discuss independence, dignity, rights, and inclusion 💪

✨ 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.

18/08/2025

✨ 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.
