Why join the Market Place?

The Market Place will be held during the lunch break, to give organizations and individuals the opportunity to present their innovative strategies and interventions to mainstream disability inclusion in development programs. This vibrant space will bring together a dynamic mix of like-minded professionals, who are eager to learn and collaborate on this topic.

We want to give 3 to 5 external organizations or individuals the opportunity to present their interventions or initiatives.

What are we looking for?

We are seeking interventions that actively involve those it aims to benefit in either design, execution or monitoring and evaluation (e.g., Meaningful Youth Participation). Whether it is through personal stories, collaborative planning, or direct involvement in presentations, we want to see how your approach embodies true inclusion.

Your intervention or strategy can be presented in multiple formats, such as posters, or anything else you deem necessary, as long it is inclusive, and the message is understandable for individuals with eg. an auditive or visual disability.
