Handicap
The theme of the event is the Article 19 of the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities CRPD; living independently and being included in the community.
The aim of the event is to promote the implementation of the CRPD, especially in the selected areas where there are particular common challenges. Experiences and examples will be presented from the Nordic and Baltic countries, and from the European level. Topics to be discussed include services and other preconditions that enable independent living – such as de-institutionalization by developing services for the local community and supported decision-making.
