SPARK: A powerful week for inclusive democracy in Poland

CARDET is pleased to share updates from its recent activities on the SPARK Project. On April 23rd, transnational partners convened in Warsaw, hosted by PROM, to strategize on fostering the political participation of young Europeans with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities. The meeting played a key role in finalizing evidence-based policy recommendations and ensuring a coordinated approach across all six partner countries.

The momentum continued on April 24th in Radom with a major Advocacy Event, bringing together 76 young leaders. The event focused on amplifying the voices of young people who are often excluded from democratic processes. By presenting findings from national workshops, the partnership is actively working to bridge the “disability gap” and promote inclusive participation, ensuring that every young person has a seat at the political table.

Through these efforts, the SPARK Project continues to drive meaningful change towards a more accessible and inclusive European democracy.
