Dear Rainbow Friends, The integration of disabled people in AEGEE is more and more catching the attention of AEGEE members: this is the reason why after the WS held at the Agora in Zaragoza and the one at the PM in Wroclaw it is important to see how far AEGEE has gone as for the issue. We all want disabled to be integrated in AEGEE, but still there are a few and we are not doing enough to attract them. What should we do? How? At the same time AEGEE members lack of information and education on the matter, and this is very important, since it's the key of the future development of the topic. People need to be informed and educated before they feel the motivation to work seriously on the matter. We would like to start the WS by seeing how far we have got with the work and then seeing where and how we can improve. Furthermore we would like to find people interested in joining the Project Team: this topic needs people with an high motivation to work on it, experienced people who aim at letting a lot of disabled join and enjoy our Association. So join us on FRIDAY 23RD APRIL at 14:30 for HRWG (Human Rights Working Group)'s workshop on the topic. It is being led by Alistair de Gaetano, HRWG Speaker, as well as me, since I have been involved in the area as from the very start, both as regards SUs and Disability, in the initiative with SUCT to endeavour to make SUs more disability-friendly as from this year, as well as through the workshop I co-led with Fabrizio Fantini in Wroclaw, where the idea of the project was further expanded, and the Internal Education element also introduced. See you there! ;) Silvia Baita ============================================================================== RAINBOW-L is a regional discussion list of AEGEE.
