Welcome to BREAK.

BREAK is a space to talk about:

✔️ Consent
🤝 Healthy relationships
🛡️ Safety
🗣️ How to ask for help
💬 Respect for yourself and others

Together, we will learn to recognise the signs that make us feel good, and the ones that make us feel uncomfortable. Everyone has the right to choose. Everyone has the right to say yes. And everyone has the right to say no.

Here you will find simple information, images, videos and tools to help people learn about their rights and feel safer.

Your body is yours. Your voice matters.

Registration is open! EQUAL-CARE Final Conference: Upholding gender equality in the disability care sector.

📅 24 November 2026
🕘 9.30–12.30
📍 European Economic and Social Committee, Brussels, and online

Care work, paid and unpaid, is done overwhelmingly by women. When it stays underpaid, precarious and invisible, it feeds gender inequalities. Closing the gender care gap is a precondition for gender-equal societies.

For the past two years, the EQUAL-CARE project, funded under the EU CERV programme, has been advancing gender equality in disability care through research, training and practical tools. On the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, join us to discover:

✅ Our key research findings
✅ The results of our national pilot trainings
✅ Our policy recommendations, and what the EU Care Deal can deliver

We may have already been celebrating, but today is the real day 🎂. The day Disability Support Europe was founded 30 years ago!

We’ve done some digging in the archives (there were no iPhones back then) and found some treasures.

Some of the clothes and hairstyles have changed, but the spirit of the organisation has remained the same. Thank you to our founders who started this journey in 1996, and everyone who has been part of it. We’re so proud of what we’ve built together!

Yesterday we closed our 30th anniversary conference with our General Assembly (and cake!) 🎂

The last few days have been a celebration of how far we've come as an organisation and a sector.

For this birthday, we didn't make a wish. We made a commitment. A commitment to everyday, built for everyone. Because, as disability advocate Nicole Sophie Marinos told us, inclusion isn't determined by disability. It's determined by the environment.

Our mission is to keep building an architecture of inclusion that changes that environment. We'll do it together with our members, partners and policymakers, and above all with people with disabilities, who must be the lead architects, not occasional consultees, as Nadia Hadad from the European Disability Forum said.

Thank you to all our participants and speakers for joining us and bringing your great ideas, insights and energy! ⚡️

This year, day 2 of our conference looked a little different. Instead of staying indoors, we got on buses and set off on 10 study visits, carefully planned by our Knowledge and Innovation team.

In Brussels, we rode bikes through the city to see how neighbourhoods and organisations can work together to create a city where people with disabilities belong and contribute as part of everyday life.

In Ghent, we saw how dancers with disabilities reach a professional level with the right support and we were treated to a sneak peek of an inclusive theatre performance for toddlers.

In Antwerp, we learned how adults with intellectual disabilities are trained as nature guides and take on a respected role as educators.

Today was all about connection, learning and sharing. This is how an architecture of inclusion is being built across Belgium.

A big thank you to all the organisations who opened their doors to us. See you tomorrow for the final day of our 30th anniversary conference!

05/10/2026

We have big news, and we're excited to finally share. Today, EASPD becomes Disability Support Europe! 🎉

For 30 years, we've worked alongside our members to unite and transform disability support services across Europe. Now we're ready to go further with a new name, a new look and a clearer mission.

Together, we're building a world where people with disabilities have the same choices and opportunities as everyone else. Where everyday, is built for everyone. See what this means at disabilitysupport.eu.

We can’t wait to write this new chapter with you all! 📖

05/10/2026

We’re so happy to welcome old and new friends to our hometown Brussels, for our 30th anniversary conference ! 🇧🇪

It’s going to be a busy day, but we’re off to a great start.

Today, we’ll unveil our new brand and mission, celebrate our past, and explore how we can build the Architecture of Inclusion together for the years to come.

Anxiety, poor sleep, exhaustion. These are just some of the symptoms people with burnout may face.

Professionals working with autistic people can be at risk of burnout. On 17–18 September, partners of the PreBurn project met in Burgos, Spain, to continue their work helping professionals prevent and manage it.

To do this, the project is developing practical tools, including a training module, a digital self-learning tool, and policy recommendations. But first, they want to hear from those working in mental health, care and support services for autistic people, to make sure these resources truly reflect the real challenges professionals face.
