“Que aventura! Com SOCIEUX+, aceitei o desafio e abracei a missão de desenvolver um Plano de Acção para Pessoas Portadoras de Deficiência do Ministério da Integração Social, Segurança Social e Solidariedade Nacional nas Maurícias. Trabalho concluído e aprovado que se transforma num sentimento de enorme gratidão por ter participado. Talvez um dos trabalhos mais desafiantes, mas mais gratificantes, da minha vida. Semeando sementes para os direitos das pessoas com deficiência! Obrigado”.

“Being able to participate as an expert in this international cooperation project has been an honor for me, and also a satisfaction because I have been able to present my knowledge and experience for the benefit of the citizens of Girardota through its Mayor’s Office, but also because I have acquired new knowledge on how to manage problematic situations related to the armed conflict and with the most vulnerable groups, through the implementation of socio-labor projects directly related to employment and decent work.”

Pedro Bergas Bassa, Technical expert in Colombia (SOCIEUX+ action 2017-33).

“Disability inclusion has come to the agenda of national and international organizations recently, due to which mutual learning and exchange of experiences and information are important (see Art. 32 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities).

This was a good learning experience for me and my institution, as the approach was peer-to-peer and I could also learn from the other expert and the partner country very much. It is a very interesting forum for collaboration between Europe and other parts of the world.

It is really wonderful that the SOCIEUX+ Facility is seriously taking disability inclusion into account, which is not yet self-evident unfortunately in many other programmes”
