Madrid is getting closer! 🇪🇸✨

Our partners in Together for Inclusion project are now preparing the workshops they will lead during our international meeting in Madrid.

Each workshop will focus on an important part of self-advocacy, rights, and inclusion — from human dignity and active citizenship to work, health, communication, education, and independent living. 💬🤝

They are also being guided and supported by Marina Roa Visual Thinking, our visual facilitator, who is helping partners shape their ideas in a creative and accessible way.

We can’t wait to bring everything together in Madrid and create a space where young people with intellectual disabilities can share, learn, and make their voices heard. 🌍

Funded by the European Union. 🇪🇺

🎥 Throwback to the European Self-Advocacy Summit 2026

During the summit on 26 March, self-advocates, organisations and decision-makers from across Europe came together to strengthen the future of self-advocacy 🌍

One of these important moments came from MEP Alex Agius Saliba, who reminded us why self-advocacy matters at European level:

💬 “People with intellectual disabilities must not only be part of the conversation, they must also be heard directly in the decisions affecting their lives.”

💬 “This is exactly what self-advocacy means.”

His words reflected the heart of the summit — dignity, human rights and the importance of being heard.

This is what self-advocacy looks like.
This is the Europe we continue building together.

🎥 Throwback to the European Self-Advocacy Summit 2026

During the summit on 26 March, self-advocates from across Europe came together to share their voices, experiences and strength 🌍

One of these powerful moments came from Simone Bello, reflecting on his journey from participant to trainer:

💬 “At the beginning it was difficult… but then everything went smoothly.”

💬 “It was very satisfying to help others prepare their speeches and support them.”

💬 “It is always important to improve — and everyone can do it.”

His words show that self-advocacy is not only about speaking up, but also about growing, supporting others and stepping into leadership.

This is what self-advocacy looks like.
This is how confidence becomes leadership.

🌍 Project Coordination in Action

On 24 April, partners of the Together for Inclusion project came together to shape the upcoming Madrid event — a key moment in our Erasmus+ journey.

From human dignity and rights to workshop design and self-advocacy, teams worked on creating meaningful, accessible experiences for participants across Europe.

The focus?
Empowering self-advocates to understand their rights, raise their voices, and take action — locally, nationally, and at EU level.

Guided by Marina Roa Visual Thinking, teams developed their workshops and explored ways to capture the impact of the Madrid event.

Excited for what’s coming next in Madrid 🇪🇸

🎥 Throwback to the European Self-Advocacy Summit 2026

Anna Virág is a young self-advocate from Hungary 🇭🇺 who shared her journey during the summit.

Through self-advocacy training, Anna gained confidence, learned to express her opinions and stand up for herself. She also spoke about meeting decision-makers and taking her first steps in advocacy — showing that change starts with speaking up.

💬 “I feel like I have become braver and more outspoken.”

Her story is a powerful reminder of why self-advocacy matters — and how it creates real impact.
