The first Communications and Advocacy Newsletter of 2022 is now available on our website. The thematic focus is Disability Inclusion, which is one of EU-CORD’s cross-cutting themes.

We start with an introduction to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities before a round-up of the essential learnings from the recently completed Global Disability Summit held in Norway.

Finally, this newsletter ends with some prayer points on our radar.
