When Participation Becomes Real Influence

How can we ensure that persons with disabilities have a genuine influence on decisions that affect their lives? Active involvement is not a matter of goodwill; it is a right under Article 4.3 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

 

The presentation explores what active involvement means in practice, the challenges it presents, and the opportunities that arise when people’s experiences and knowledge are recognised and put to use. Practical examples illustrate how active involvement can become a natural part of decision-making processes.

 

What Does Your Organisation Gain?

Active involvement contributes to better-informed decisions, wiser use of resources and more sustainable solutions. By involving those directly affected, shortcomings can be identified earlier, costly mistakes avoided and trust strengthened.

 

Active involvement is not just a right — it is also an investment in quality, democracy and better decision-making.
