When done right, quality care and support enables people to live independently, in the community, to make choices, and to have control over their lives.

Time for the Communications Network to communicate!
This event is for EASPD members only.
EASPD invites all communications officers from our members to join us online and discuss ‘What goes into a successful campaign?’ on Monday, 11 December 2023, from 10:30-11:30 CET. This webinar will explore two main topics: effective campaigning and political participation.
As we approach the end of 2023 and 2024 is peaking around the corner, we also prepare to make space for new opportunities, challenges, and goals.
2024 brings not only a clean slate, but the next European Elections. So, what can we do to make sure we are taking steps that bring us closer to our goals? From securing funds for new equipment, services, and activities to conveying essential messages to policymakers at the local, national, and even European levels, well-crafted communication campaigns play a crucial role in achieving success. Through joining those with lived experiences we can learn how a campaign can have real impact.
Join us in taking a look at creating meaningful political campaigns that advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities.
