It is great to see that we have more and more forums to talk about independent living.
But let’s face it, most of the time it’s people with disabilities talking to each other. Sometimes family members and helpers join in, which is a great achievement. But the presence of institutional staff doesn’t usually happen.

The People First Association, as part of its international Indeed project, organised such a discussion workshop in Pécs today, with the participation of all those interested in developing independent living.
Family members, full-time helpers, people with disabilities living independently and not fully independently, and innovative thinking staff/managers of institutions shared their opinions, experiences and change ideas at today’s good-mood discussion.

An important part of the workshop was to think and talk through the question “how can you make a change, what will you do differently immediately after the workshop?”
You can see what we came up with in a poster (of course, we talked in much more detail about certain topics).

The conversation will continue! Even within the Indeed project, and then we will continue in more depth, with a joint needs assessment and mutual learning in our FairCare project.

Thank you very much to everyone who was present today. Follow our Facebook page and join us next time!
