Social inclusion in Working Life

When? Wed 19th of March from 13 to 15.30

Where? Teams

For who? All interested parties

THIS EVENT IS HELD IN ENGLISH!

Join our Nordic webinar on social inclusion for people with disabilities in working life! This event will provide a comprehensive overview of the current situation in Nordic countries, backed by recent research findings.

Despite progress, social inclusion and responsibility often overlook individuals with disabilities. To drive real change, we need proactive measures and continuous follow-up—not just wishful thinking. Supported employment emerges as a key solution.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn, engage, and contribute to a more inclusive working environment for everyone!

This event has been organized by Vates foundation and ASEE (Association for Supported Employment Europe) nordic members.
