European Association for Mental Health in Intellectual Disability

EAMHID is in Hamburg 🇩🇪 at Campus Uhlenhorst!

We’re here with Konekt APEMH and In-Red Galicia for the second TPM of our Erasmus+ project Exploring the Inclusive Power of Co-creation in Events (EXP-IPCC-E) — and the message is simple: an event is only truly successful when everyone can take part.

Accessibility and inclusion mean that all people, whatever their physical, sensory or cognitive abilities, can fully participate and engage. The most reliable way to get there? Building events around Human-Centred Design and co-creation from the very first planning step.

That means bringing everyone to the table — persons with disabilities, educators, event planners, community representatives — so that inclusion is designed in, not added on.

Through co-productive focus groups analysing real events, EXP-IPCC-E will map what works and what gets in the way. The findings will come together in a dedicated toolkit and video tutorials to help educators, support staff and event planners create events that meet Universal Design principles — fully in line with the and the European Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Because a society that starts by making its events inclusive is a society building stronger, fairer, shared foundations for everyone. 💙

Big news! A new partnership for inclusion and mental health.

We're thrilled to share that EAMHID and Plena Inclusion Spain have officially joined forces! 🎉
