What do we want to build today?
November 2025
Although we, as people with disabilities, are still far from where we want to be, the world today is very different from the one we knew when we first met forty years ago. Sometimes it's better and enjoying; too often it's worse and outrageous.
Today, DPI is in a position to speak loudly through our chair and friend, Abdus Sattar Dulal. Its voice is not only awaited within the disability community, but also by the entire civil society, which is beginning to understand that our interests are its interests and that the world we, people with disabilities, are waiting for is a better world for all. We fight not only for the rights of our community, but also for the rights of all living beings.
To this end, our members are developing networks of experts with disabilities on various issues related to the implementation of the CRPD principles. Each network has its own approach, but they are all animated by the same understanding of the process, which gives rise to unique areas of expertise.
Based on the practices of its members, DPI-Europe presented the commitment “Identify and Train Key Change Agents” to develop peer counsellor training programs in Europe.
