"Training of professionals is key. What's great in SHAPES is that we are analysing how technology can support older people with disabilities, too. Come and meet us to understand what our realities are", says Mark Wheatley from @EUD_Brussels.

Yesterday, our president @FcoTrigueros, participated in the SHAPES 4th Dialogue workshop (@H2020Shapes@WFDeafBlind), as Moderator of the Panel: "Understanding ageing and disabilities". Here, we share some of the participations we had during the panel.
#SHAPESdialogue#Ageing
Sanja Tarczay from @WFDeafBlind speaks: "Many people ignore the reality of deafblindness. They ignore even more the barriers as we age with deafblindness. As we grow older, there is no enough support available. And 2/3 of deafblind people are older!".

Our colleague #MireiaMendoza walks tonight in the @MBFWMadrid She will wear designs of #MariaLafuente, whose work stands out for its sustainable, feminist and inclusive approach.
We wish you a magical evening!
Thank you for showing that deafblind people can break barriers!

After years of intense advocacy, the European #DisabilityCard has been included as one of the initiatives in the new #EUDisabilityRights Strategy!
We need a Card that goes beyond this purpose to facilitate free movement for persons with disabilities in EU.
