Currently, there are over one billion disabled people worldwide[1] who are more socially involved than before. Despite this, employment rates are low, and many barriers to employment still remain[2].
In the framework of the Awareness4Change project 6 organizations from 4 European countries (Germany, Portugal, Romania, and United Kingdom) are making a joint effort to address the situation and promote the knowledge about diversity, human rights, and inclusion.
We believe that an inclusive workplace welcomes people of all backgrounds and abilities and appreciates them for their contributions. It's a place where people with disabilities have equal opportunities for advancement as their colleagues.
The awareness campaign entitled We can merge together, aims to share testimonies of companies that have built an inclusive working space for people with disabilities. Through this action we want to show that smart employers recruit and welcome talent with disability.
The campaign will start in May 2022 and last until June 2022 and it will display every month two stories of companies that have built an inclusive working space.
