1. Third project forum in Leuven , 22-26/03/2006

The third project forum will take place in Leuven from 22nd until 26th of March. Main topics of this meeting will be finalising the educational kit and defining dissemination strategies. The full programme will appear online soon. Please complete the registration form and send this to the project assistant as soon as possible.

2. Brochure legislation report

The brochure “Inclusion Policy for Children and Youngsters with Disabilities in Physical Education, Sports and Employment is available in printed version as well as electronic version at the projects’ office. This brochure was recently disseminated by all partners of the participating countries to policy makers and the general public. More folders can be received upon request. The full Inclusion Policy booklet is available at the project assistant upon request.

3. European Year of Equal Opportunities for all

The European Commission has designated the year 2007 to be the European year of Equal Opportunities for all”. This action will be a prolongation of earlier efforts during the European year against racism (1997) and the Year of People with Disabilities (2003). This will further raise the awareness about non-discrimination and equal opportunities. Although the end date of our Joint Actions project is before 2007, we share the rationale behind this year of Equal Opportunities for all. As our project is widespread through Europe , we will certainly contribute to the goals of 2007 by disseminating our project beyond the established project dates, as we plan to do.

4. Future Actions

After the upcoming project forum the educational booklet will be submitted for printing and we will organise national dissemination meetings.
