Come and make a disability policy program 

Eksote and the disability councils of the provincial municipalities are preparing the South Karelia disability policy program in cooperation. The program includes a municipality-specific share from each municipality. 

The disability policy program offers ways to implement the UN Convention on Disability in Finland nationally and locally. With the help of the measures included in the program, the aim is to secure the fair social status of disabled persons and to outline the development costs that aim for a sustainable and responsible disability policy.

It is held for the preparation of the Imatra section open workshop on October 22.10.2020, 12.00 from 16.00:XNUMX to XNUMX:XNUMX in the council hall of the city of Imatra, Virastokatu 2. It is also possible to participate in the workshop remotely using a Teams live meeting in this link. You can find instructions on joining a Teams live meeting here.

The survey about the themes of the program is available at imatra.fi/vammaisevvost. 

You can also participate in the workshop by simply answering to the electronic survey, which asks what is important for a disabled person in terms of rights and equal treatment, what should be taken into account, which things are currently working well and where improvements could be made. 

You can answer the electronic survey until 31.10.2020 October XNUMX.
