D-WISE Network. Work inclusive, work wise

On 22 October 2021 the European Platform for Rehabilitation (EPR) hosted a webinar in partnership with the D-WISE Network in order to take stock of the situation of the sector in Europe.

Join our interactive webinar with EPR about the role and contribution of WISEs (Work Inclusion Social Enterprises) to the labour inclusion of persons with disabilities. 

Discover the findings of the D-WISE network research 'Towards inclusive employment of persons with disabilities', learn about inspiring case studies and follow a policy debate with representatives from the European Parliament, the European Disability Forum, and the European Commission. 

On Friday 22 October from 10:00 to 12:00 CET, the D-WISE Network and EPR organize a webinar on Work Integration Social Enterprises and their contribution to the labour inclusion of persons with disabilities. 

On 17 June 2021, the Members of the European Parliament Estrella Durá and Alicia Homs hosted an online debate on ‘What future for Inclusive Enterprises? Exploring the link between Social Economy and Inclusive Enterprises’.

The event was organised with the objective of shedding light on the different types of companies providing employment for persons with disabilities, with a particular focus on social economy enterprises and the so-called inclusive enterprises.

On 21 and 22 October 2019 the partners of the project gathered in Paris at the headquarters of APF France handicap for a two day seminar to discuss the progress of the project.

This included for example a presentation on the EU policy framework for employment of persons with disability by Diversity and Disability Expert Nadège Riche and a joint discussion on the state-of-play of the European Social Economy Sector.
