Seminarai
EMPL
Independent living and being included in the community, as outlined in Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), are essential for the well-being of persons with disabilities. However, challenges persist, including lack of affordable community housing, limited access and support to care services and funding gaps towards community inclusion. The workshop will hear from experts on the policy framework, current situation and the way forward, and from organisations of persons with disabilities and stakeholders on challenges, shortcomings and opportunities.
The workshop will be chaired by Li Andersson, MEP and will take place on Monday, 2 December 2024, from 17.00 till 19.00 in the European Parliament (Antall 6Q2).
