Our Right to Connect Conference: People with a disability in Ireland sharing stories about using technology to stay connected.

Inclusion Ireland is delighted to take our annual conference Online on Thursday 3rd December – the international day for people with disabilities.

Inclusion Ireland is a national, rights-based advocacy organisation. We work to strengthen the voice and promote the rights of people with an intellectual disability. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) guides our work.

In this conference, people with a disability in Ireland, will share their stories and learning about how they are using computers, phones and the internet in new ways to

  • Chat with friends and family
  • Tell stories by taking pictures and making videos
  • Learn new skills
  • Stand up for their rights

Much of this work and learning is being supported by services. Because of the isolation caused by Covid 19, this work has now become even more important.

The presentations and talks will be led by self-advocates from across the country and we hope this event gives us all an opportunity to learn from each other.

On Tuesday 1st December at 11 am, we will be giving people an opportunity to test the conference link and make sure that they can connect up with us by Zoom. You can sign up for this “Zoom support” when you are registering.

We aim to make sure that the platform is fully accessible and we would appreciate if you could let us know if you have any additional support requirements. 

Thursday 3rd of December 2020 at 10:30 am on Zoom 

[This event is being organised by Inclusion Ireland. INHEF are not involved in the running of the conference]

Inclusive Education Webinars [IASSIDD]

Inclusive Education Webinar hosted by: The International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IASSIDD) 

Over the course of the last decades, several countries around the world have taken serious efforts to make their school systems more inclusive. Fuelled by international policy papers, as the Salamanca Statement (UNCESO 1994) and the activism of the Disabled People’s Movement, governments from all continents

have tried to re-organise structures and practises in the field of education. Signing the UN-Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD, 2006), several states have affirmed the right of all children to education – in an inclusive system. These processes have led to a global progress in expanding access to education (UNESCO 2017). Despite these efforts, many children with disabilities are still refused participation in education or are being schooled in segregated educational settings. The labels intellectual disability and/or developmental disability seem to remain some of the most powerful barriers, disabling children to participate in mainstream school settings.
