Better Together: Improving Disability Inclusion in Volunteering and Humanitarian Action
About this Event

This event is being organized as part of VIVID Project. It will share significant learning that a Europe-wide, multi-partner consortium project supported by EU Aid Volunteer brought together during the last two years building capacity of the humanitarian aid volunteers on how best to remove disabling barriers, promote meaningful inclusion in development and humanitarian contexts.

Six participating organisations, experts and members of local disability movements together with participants from the key international development and humanitarian organisations will attend the event to learn and share views and experiences on inclusive development and humanitarian actions.

Please note that the event will have live captioning and Sign Language Interpretation.
