Dear friends of Inclusion Europe,

VISIT OUR SITE


The project Childrens Rights for All is coming to its final stage. For two years, Inclusion Europe, Eurochild and the Charles University in Prague co-operated in analysing the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child from the perspective of children with intellectual disabilities. This was made possible thanks to highlyqualified national experts conducting thorough research in 22 EU Member States. The European Report, offering the overview of the situation in the EU, presents a synthesis of this research. It will be officially launched at a final conference held at the end of this week in Brussels, in presence of Jan Jaab, the Regional Representative of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and other important European and international stakeholders. For more information, you can visit the website of the project. Best wishes, Information team Inclusion Europe www.e-include.eu
