5th European Parliament of Persons with Disabilities

The European Parliament of Persons with Disabilities (EPPD) is a one-day event that reunites roughly 600 disability advocates, policymakers and other stakeholders. It is co-hosted by the European Parliament and the European Disability Forum (EDF), in Parliament’s plenary Chamber. The 5th EPPD will conclude the 25th anniversary of EDF, which was created to bring together representative organisation of persons with disabilities from across Europe to build a strong, united voice for the 100 million Europeans with disabilities. EDF works to ensure that decisions concerning persons with disabilities are taken with persons with disabilities, through their active involvement in policy and decision-making. This is the basis of the motto ‘nothing about us without us’. The conference does just this; It serves as a platform to discuss the rights of persons with disabilities and to decide on the political demands of the European Disability Movement. It achieves this by fostering dialogue between Members of the European Parliament, EU decision makers and delegates of diverse organisations of persons with disabilities.
