Great conference, on a subject that needs to be heard!

A very necessary event. Europe’s future must include all people, especially the most vulnerable, what future awaits people with Down syndrome in Europe? Will they receive the respect they deserve and the support they need?

Very important subject!
Only when people with Down Syndrome will be more visible in the social area - they problems will be better known for others.
Situation, when people with Down Syndrome will be one of the main topics in social debats, can open the door for cooperation of people from many different spaces. Only this way we can do something.

Information about this event in Polish can be found here: https://www.larche.org.pl/trisomia-21-konferencja-on-line-7-lipca-2021/ Although Polish is not the language of the Conference, this topic also applies to Poles! We would be worth it in this debate!

I can't wait for the meeting! A very important subject! I hope as many parents join!

The conference for the future of Europe should include all the citizens! People with Trisomy 21 should be included in the debates, panels, and plenaries to truly have the opinion of all citizens and all perspectives. European Union should facilitate their participation as the European Union has helped in making effective the right to vote of people with intellectual disabilities.

This Conference seems to me to be a magnificent opportunity to make trisomy 21 visible and to raise awareness among citizens and also institutions of the value of difference. At the same time, I think this is an occasion to normalise Down syndrome and claim the value and rights of people with this genetic condition because they deserve it and society needs it. Thank you very much to all who have made it possible.

Excellent conference.
Persons with Down syndrome need to be given more opportunities and acknowledge their abilities. It is the only way we can show that they are not a burden on society.
What are we going to do next? Are we also going to kill those people who have accidents and remain disabled? Are we going to eliminate all the imperfections? If you are overweight, short, have glasses ......? Are we humans anymore????

I am very pleased about the conference and it is true: People with T21 must live and work in the world and be visible. Our son (17 years old) with T21 is discriminated against by the authority in Munich because he is accused of being unable to do anything. We have to get a lawyer, which costs us a lot of money so that he can get a vocational training. In Germany, inclusion is prevented. This has to change. We are very happy to have our son. We still have two children (12 years old) and are a happy family. In Germany, all people with disabilities are being pushed into separate systems. And there are only financial reasons: This separating system receives so much money from the state that they absolutely want to maintain themselves and are afraid of change. But the only way is a society of diversity. Discrimination against people with T21 also, and especially from government agencies, must finally stop.

Stop discrimination. People with Down syndrome are part of the society. They cannot be considered second class people that can be discarded. We want a better future for people with Down syndrome, they deserve it.

This kind of EU events are so important!. Visibility; share best practices; share thoughts; explain our circumstances in our countries, etc. Thanks EUfortrisomy21, for your efforts and for the professional contribution you are making visible this syndrome.

Great conference!

A very rich conference thanks to the various high-quality speakers who clearly demonstrate that everyone must have a place in our society.

A fundamental subject! The world needs all of us, regardless of their handicaps. Improving the visibility of people with Down syndrome will alleviate the stigma society associates with the condition and make for a better understanding of each other

Very interesting conference, the very interesting issue, fundamental to creating a just society with a better future.

The Importance of Visibility for Equity

Impressive and Necessary

The importance of visibility to reach equality

It is vital to achieve equality for all people; and in this case that of people with Trisonomy 21. We must put everything in our hands to facilitate the path and achieve their inclusion in society in a real way. For his sake and for the sake of all; they have a lot to teach us.

Visibility, inclusion and normality!

There is much need for equality and inclusion for all.

People with down syndrome are much needed in society. They provide a plus of sensitivity, goodness, joy and emotional intelligence that we do not possess the rest of the people. They have a special ability to create well-being and detect any inconvenience, and what is more valid: solve it with a special touch and with your affection. By providing them with means for their early stimulation and training they can achieve very worthy professional goals and overcome each day. There are examples of Eli. They just need more means. There is a lot of need in this society at times lack of values.

It is very necessary to achieve full integration and value the contribution of people with down syndrome in society.

Hello, thank you for your comments. We invite you to comment on the latest idea published by EU for trisomy 21 in this link: Trisomy 21: We want more...

The extra chromosome of happiness. Unconditional love, striving to overcome, empathy, joy, love,... all this and much more people with Down syndrome give us.

I support this campaign because I want to see compliance with the Convention on Persons with Disabilities. States should take measures to raise awareness and awareness of the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities, to combat stereotypes and prejudices and to value their specific contribution. I would like people with Down syndrome or any other disability to be heard, accepted and valued for what they are, not so they can look like those who don't. Real inclusion in all areas.

Need to ensure that people with trisomia 21 have the same rights as other people
