Ireland: Leaders, leading a new way forward 

 

 

Ireland as an island has always been an outward looking country, set between the melting pot of America, our friendly neighbour Britain and the network of vision that is Europe. 

For us Leaders living in Ireland we have always been eager to have what our neighbours have - a system of Direct Payments. The Leader's movement of change in Ireland is dynamic, is influenced by our neighbours and by the actions of Leaders among us that have strived towards bringing about change. 

Many of us have left Ireland, travelling to parts of Europe explaining the changes we have made in our country to emerging European states.

Belgium: CAMPAIGN GRIP vzw 'We're stronger than we think'

  

On July 2, 2009, Belgium ratified the UN Convention on the rights of persons with a disability. The Convention is an important tool for persons with a disability. It gives them a chance to participate, and to strive for their rights and fight for equal opportunities.

A lot of disabled people are not familiar with this Convention, nor with their rights. In order to fully implement the Convention, it's of paramount importance that disabled people themselves are convinced that they have the same rights as everyone else. Hence, these people should be familiar with their rights so they can stand up for themselves.
