Photo exhibition "Handicap: Multicultural??!"
The Belgium Platform Handicap and Development Cooperation (PHOS) has asked people with a disability from various social and cultural backgrounds to photograph their everyday lives. They brought all the images together in a photo exhibition called "Handicap: Multicultural??!". It turned out that there were more similarities than differences, regardless of background or beliefs. The participants all encountered similar hurdles and challenges. Independent living turned out to be a common goal. The exhibition shows how they try to achieve this and promotes more tolerance and inclusion. |

Inclusive education: paving the way for social cohesion
During the Spanish Presidency of the European Union the Spanish Ministry of Education organised a conference on inclusive education in Madrid. In the final debate persons with a disability stated clearly that the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities does not allow segregation in education. Persons with disabilities may not be excluded from the general education system on the basis of disability. Yet in some countries, such as Belgium and Germany, the majority of students with disabilities are still attending special schools. Only radical choices with a national plan for transition from segregation to inclusion can make the needed change.

The EU and social inclusion
Many groups of people in the European Union suffer from social exclusion, and for different reasons. This extends to employment where some people find it difficult to get a job. Groups of people can experience social exclusion for many reasons: because they have a physical disability which causes others to doubt their capacities, or because they have health problems that need daily attention. As an example of exclusion, people with disabilities represent one in six of the working age population in the EU, yet only 40% of disabled people have jobs. Promoting the full integration and participation of disadvantaged groups of people is a key element of EU policies – and not just employment policies. Read more on the EU website. |
