L'avenir nous appartient

Depuis deux ans, EU for Trisomy 21 travaille à l'organisation d'une série d'événements en ligne et en personne pour mettre en lumière les éléments essentiels de notre mission qui consiste à sensibiliser et à défendre les droits des personnes atteintes de #Trisomy21 en Europe et au-delà.

L'avenir nous appartient was an EU sponsored project consisting of three online and one in-Person event between September 2022 and July 2023. With the EU elections coming up in 2024, and many people with Down Syndrome being allowed to vote in them for the first time, we wanted to take our time to highlight the four goals of EU for Trisomy 21: Autonomie, Visibilité, Santé et Traitement égal.

One event at a time, EU for Trisomy 21 made sure our EU wide Network is prepared for the upcoming elections - and even more important that the decision makers are prepared for us! We gave the floor to field experts, parents and decision makers, and most importantly to Self Advocates: People with Down Syndrome to shared their own stories and experiences. Through our events, our participants had the chance to meet, discuss and come up with concrete solutions in favour of making this world a better place for people with Down Syndrome.
