The Future is Ours

For the past two years, EU for Trisomy 21 has been working on organising a series of online and in person events to shed the lights on the essential elements of our mission that consists on raising awareness and standing up for the rights of people with #Trisomy21 in Europe and beyond.

The Future is Ours is an EU sponsored project consisting of three online and one in-Person event between now and July 2023. With the EU elections coming up on 2024, and many people with Down Syndrome being allowed to vote in them for the first time, we want to take our time to highlight the four goals of EU for Trisomy 21: Autonomy, Visibility, Health and Equal Treatment.

One event at a time, EU for Trisomy 21 will make sure our EU wide Network is prepared for the upcoming elections - and even more important that they are prepared for us! We will give the floor to field experts, parents and decision makers, and most importantly to Self Advocates: People with Down Syndrome to share their own stories and experiences. Through our events, our participants will have 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.
