When emergencies happen, people with intellectual disabilities and their families are among the most likely to be left behind. Inclusion International members have been playing a vital role in supporting people affected by crises and working with humanitarian actors. But we have heard from members that working in this space is challenging and takes knowledge and resources.

This three-part webinar series brings together Inclusion International members and humanitarian actors to build knowledge, share experiences and resources, and help members strengthen their role in humanitarian action.

Series Details

21st May – Webinar 1: How Members Are Supporting Forcibly Displaced People. Join for an introduction to the topic from members and IRAP, and share your own experiences.

4th June – Webinar 2: Working with Humanitarian Actors. Learn more about working with the humanitarian sector, who the key actors are, how it works, and how Organisations of People with Disabilities can find their place within it.

25th June – Webinar 3: Resources from our Network. Explore the tools, resources, and support available to help member organisations get started or go further in humanitarian work.
