Employer Forum on Accessibility in the Workplace
March 29, 2011 - March 29, 2011
Brussels
Disabled people are two to three times more likely to be unemployed than non-disabled persons according
to the European Disability Forum. A startling fact when one considers that over 80 million EU citizens have a
disability with the majority of those of working age being totally excluded from the workforce.
Accessibility has been a key employability theme for the Alliance. This event will bring together
employers, NGOs, advocacy groups working on accessibility in the workplace, promoting
employability for people with disability and a more diverse and richer workforce. The event will
provide an open forum for discussion and allow the audience to hear directly from NGOs and private
sector as well as showcasing some of the best practices of NGOs and employers.
The event will be keynoted by Hungarian MEP Adam Kosa who heads up the Disability Intergroup
of the European Parliament and Caroline Casey, Founding CEO of NGO Kanchi and the O2 Ability
Awards.
