Families are shaped by the experiences they share.

Growing up alongside a sibling with an intellectual disability can bring challenges.

But it also develops resilience, empathy and a strong understanding of inclusion.

Every sibling’s experience is different, and every story has something to teach us.

To learn more about the experiences of parents and siblings, you can read more about the Young Families Project.

You can find it on our website: www.inclusion.eu

“We focus a lot on the challenges and the problems and, and big negative things, but there are so many good sides, good things that we learn from our siblings or our children”

The Young Families project shows that every family has its own story.

It highlighted the difficulties families face.

It also highlighted stories of hope, joy and resilience that shape their lives in positives ways.

These experiences remind us of why listening to families is so important.

Support determines whether education is successful or not. It should not be a limited resource.

Too often, families spend years looking for support and guidance. When support is difficult to access, families must do it alone.

No child, parent or sibling should be left to carry the responsibility alone.

The Young Families project gives parents and siblings of children intellectual disabilities about their experiences.

The challenges, the positives and the lessons they learned.

“Many knew very little about it before their child was born or diagnosed, and the same for siblings”

The experiences of parents and siblings are at the centre of the Young Families project.

Every family’s journey is different, but many families face the same challenges.

💫 Navigate systems
💫 Advocating for their loved ones
💫 Finding ways to build a life where everyone belongs.

The project reminds us that supporting a person with an intellectual disability also means recognising and supporting the families around them.

Finding the right support shouldn’t feel like searching for something that isn’t there.

When professionals aren’t properly trained, parents fill in the gaps.

Families should not have to fight for professionals that understand their child.

Creating inclusive schools means making sure the right support is available when people need it.

No parent or sibling should have to cope alone.

Supporting a child with an intellectual disability also means supporting the people around them. Their parents, and their siblings.

When parents do not have the guidance they need, they are left to find the solutions on their own.

Siblings are also affected.
They learn to adapt, take on responsibilities and put their own needs aside.

Families need support that includes everyone.

The Young Families project brings together the voices of parents and siblings.
Read more about their experiences from the essays on the website: www.inclusion.eu

"We do our part for inclusion. Do you?"

Self-advocates from across Europe joined Inclusion Europe's first ever Summer School in Brussels this month.

🚀 Once registration was open, all spots were filled pretty much immediately.
Which goes to show once more...
💪 People with intellectual disabilities know something needs to change.
💪 People with intellectual disabilities are preparing and organising to make that change happen - Individually and as a group.
💪 People with intellectual disabilities will continue to show up for their rights, until these rights are respected.
💪 People with intellectual disabilities are putting the work in to make Europe a better place for all. A place of inclusion.

Summer School is there to support their work.

4 days of connecting, learning skills and practicing advocating for one's own rights.

Workshops were built around 'learning by doing':

💫 What advocacy means.
💫 What your rights are under the CRPD and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
💫 How to tell your story to create change.
💫 How to speak confidently in public.
💫 How to use media for your cause.
💫 How to meet and talk with politicians.

By the end of the training self-advocates had their own advocacy action plan.

🙌 Self-advocates are the past, present, and future of inclusion.

We can learn a lot from them.

And we can support them in their work to make Europe better for all. For example by asking ourselves: "What am I doing for inclusion?" and if your answer is "not enough" see this as your sign to reach out to a self-advocate you know or to us directly.

✨ Together for full rights and inclusion! ✨
