EASPD and Fundació Espurna International Conference

A Culture of Inclusion

#ACultureOfInclusionRegister
14-15 May 2025Gandía, Spain

Our international conference will explore how a culture of inclusion must be created to implement Article 30 of the UN CRPD and empower people with disabilities to create relationships, enjoy a fulfilling social life and connect with their community. We will discuss how support services can facilitate access to artistic, leisure, and sporting activities for people with disabilities, ensuring everyone can fully enjoy the experiences that bring colour to life. Additionally, we will examine the legal and policy frameworks that are needed at EU and national levels to enable service providers to fulfil their supporting role. With a unique and interactive programme, this conference offers an opportunity to learn, contribute, and immerse yourself in the topic. Join us in Gandía!
