Conference INCLUSION = STRENGTH OF THE COMMUNITY

“Inclusion is the foundation of a true community. When we open the door to diversity, we create connections between people and create a community that is inclusive and empowering.” These are the words of our friend, Kristinka Štefan, president of the Association of People with Intellectual Disabilities and Their Families The Little Prince from Đurđevac. She addressed them to the numerous people gathered at yesterday's conference INCLUSION = COMMUNITY STRENGTH, which was organized by this association and the City Society of Persons with Disabilities Đurđevac in cooperation with the City of Đurđevac. The aim of the conference was to open a space for discussion on achievements and challenges in the field of inclusion of people with disabilities, children and adults with intellectual disabilities, and the elderly, and to encourage concrete proposals for further strengthening social dialogue and expanding the network of social services. The city of Picoka is an example of good practice in this social segment, which is why we gladly accepted the invitation and participated in this valuable event. With full hearts, we brought back valuable experiences and useful information from Đurđevac.
