Hundreds are expected to gather in Rome this week, for the yearly Europe In Action Conference which has become a tradition for many people with intellectual disabilities, their families, carers and representative organisations. The topic chosen by Inclusion Europe for the conference is “Families and Self-Advocacy.” The event, which is expected to gather more than 330 participants will address effective and innovating ways of strengthening the self-advocacy movement at local, regional and national levels, while discussing the impact of self-advocacy on families. The conference will also address ways in which families and self-advocates can work together to promote the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD).
