We are honoured to have been invited to contribute to the Zero Project’s Policymaker Forum, during last week’s Zero Project Conference 2024 in Vienna.

The Zero Project(with link to https://zeroproject.org/ please) is an international organisation working for a world with zero barriers.  It promotes the rights of disabled people globally, according to the principles and Articles of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

The Policymaker Forum was an opportunity to exchange ideas and best practices, as well as serve as a platform for creating impactful change.  Our director, Dr Artemi Sakellariadis, represented CSIE and spoke alongside representatives of the European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education, and the Ministries of Education of Italy, Spain and Sweden.

The outcomes of the Forum will be compiled into a publication which will be distributed at significant policy events, including the Conference of State Parties.

Thanks again to the Zero Project for this invitation, we were delighted to contribute to this remarkable event!
