Everyone has the right to work.
|
 |
This is an important area of what we do. A lot of EASPD members help disabled people find and keep a job.
|
 |
Our members are organisations who provide services to disabled people in Europe.
|
 |
We believe that disabled people are able to work with people who are not disabled.
|
 |
We believe that disabled people should have the same rights in work as everyone else.
|
 |
What we have done:
We have written a letter to support the European Union's plan for Work and Inclusion.
|
 |
The European Union is a group of countries whose governments work together.
|
 |
Inclusion is important. It means everyone can take part and everyone has a fair chance.
|
 |
We have written about what it is like for disabled people to find a job.
|
 |
Projects help us:
• find out new things |
 |
to make things better for disabled people.
|
|
|
We have taken park in a project called BITSE to find out what stops disabled people finding work when they leave school.
|
 |
We have taken part in a project in Turkey and Italy called RACE.
|
 |
The project helps to create new jobs for disabled people in Turkey and Italy.
|
 |
We have taken part in a project called T-EST.
|
|
The project is helping to bring Supported Employment to Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey.
|
|
 |
Supported Employment is where disabled people get support to find and keep a paid job.
|
 |
 |
Every two years we give a prize to the best examples of employment for disabled people.
