Inclusion International and KAIH (Kenya Association for the Intellectually Handicapped) are pleased to invite you to join families, self-advocates, disability rights activists and professionals on 10 – 13, June 2014, in Nairobi, Kenya, for Inclusion International’s 16th World Congress at the KICC-Kenyatta international Convention Centre, and contribute to the dialogue on building “A Better World for ALL”.

A Better World for ALL invites families, people with intellectual disabilities and our partners and allies to be part of a dialogue about ensuring that people with intellectual disabilities and their families are not left behind in the post-2015 development agenda.
A Better World for ALL will be an opportunity to shape inclusive approaches to international cooperation and development that reflect the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Focused pre-conference events and sessions will explore:

• - Leaders for Change – renewing the family and self-advocate leadership in our movement;
• - Partners for Change – strengthening partnerships with other disability groups, governments and policy makers; and
• - Practices for Change – exchanging good practices in different countries/communities
•  

A Better World for ALL will host two leadership summits on 10 June, 2014 as a pre-congress event to the World Congress.

The International Family Leadership Summit will bring together family leaders from around the world to explore reinvigorating the leadership of families and ensuring that, as a family-based movement, Inclusion International is advocating for change to meet the needs of families and people with intellectual disabilities; relevant to younger families; effectively advancing self-advocacy; and, providing a common space for families – and self-advocates – to come together to build a Better World for ALL.

The International Self-Advocate Leadership Summit will bring together self-advocates from around the world to discuss:  how to ensure that a self-advocacy movement is representative and democratic; how the self-advocacy movement has developed in different parts of the world; and, how our global movement can come together to build a Better World for ALL.
