The conference „Europe in Action – How to grow with an intellectual disability” was held during the week 12-17 May.

The conference was organised by Inclusion Europe in Belfast.

With one day before the conference Eli attended the EPSA board meeting.

On the first day people from organisations for persons with intellectual disabilities talked.

On the second day, took place EPSA elections.

Self-advocates voted the EPSA board members.

Eli was re-elected for the next 2 years. She was named member of Inclusion Europe, alongside of Senada and Sara.

On the third day each self-advocate with intellectual disability chose the workshop they want to attend. Eli chose the workshop „How to use the Internet”.

At this workshop, Senada president of EPSA, told us how she found her mother through Skype.

The second workshop was called „The bus”. A group of young persons with intellectual disabilities took part in a role-play.

Eli made new friends there and wants to stay in contact with them.
