🖤 Joachim Busch died after a short, serious illness. He was 67.

Joachim was a self-advocate, and an activist for the rights of people with disabilities.
Besides that, Joachim was first and foremost a very kind person.

Thank you Joachim.
We will miss you 💔

❗️ Abuse warning

Polish media report another case of abuse in "care" institutions.

There is a video showing a woman, naked, her legs tied to a bed.

The article is here wiadomosci.wp.pl/naga-kobiete...

How many more people will suffer before the government and relevant organisations take action.

8 in 10 residential places Prague provides for people with disabilities are outside the city – some more than 4 hours away.
1,000+ people are in places like that.

With our partners, we filed a complaint against Czechia with @coe.int Committee of Social Rights.

🇪🇸 Spain Ministry of Education presents a plan for ordinary schools to become natural reference for schooling students with disabilities and autism.
Schools and special education classrooms, where 45,000 students now study, become "centres of reference, advice and support"

How likely is a relationship to survive if seeing one another takes a four-hour trip each way?

Well, I’m sure you can tell me what it is 😉
I certainly have a list…

Inclusion Europe’s work is all about people.
It is done to represent people, to improve peoples’ lives.
And it is done by people.

"We share what we know.
We learn from each other.
We make connections that help us do better work back home."

This isn't just the description of the 21st Europe in Action conference, coming to Italy end of this month.

It's this movement's everyday.
