In 2023, we started our celebration by hosting an online event on the 16th of March with the title "Time for More Visibility" as part of our "The Future is Ours" project. This event featured self-advocate speakers from all over Europe, talking about how visibility alone could make a huge difference in breaking down (syndrome) stereotypes in people's minds. All of our speakers worked in inclusive restaurants or coffee shops and told us about their lives and the conversations they had with their customers.

And then on the 20th and 21st of March, inclusive coffee shops and restaurants that had employees with Down Syndrome served coffee in places of political power such as the European Parliament, national governments, senates and parliaments, regional assemblies, and municipalities.

This gave decision-makers from all over the EU the opportunity to talk to people with Down Syndrome and learn to see things from their perspective. This was especially important that year as preparations were underway for the EU Parliament elections of 2024, where many people with Down Syndrome would be allowed to vote for the first time.

To make our celebration a success, EU for Trisomy 21 collaborated with local coffee houses that employed people with Down syndrome and vocational schools. We also worked with local, regional, national, and international politicians to ensure that this celebration reached as many people as possible.

People were already celebrating all around Europe (see on the map) - her you can read a Press Release with the details.
