It is from this question that, in the next 23 October, ARCIL will promote the meeting "Self-representation: The Forbidden Fruit (which is not desirable)", an initiative promoted by GARCIL (Group of Self-Representatives of ARCIL) that invites reflection, dialogue and sharing of experiences on the effective participation of persons with disabilities in decisions that impact their lives.

The program will feature particularly enriching moments, including the workshop "Everything I needed to know about self-representation and no one told me", powered by Sandra Marques (Inclusion Europe), and a moderate gathering by Claudia Brandão (IDiPD), bringing together inspiring experiences from APPACDM Coimbra (Draft Participate to Change), of the Federation of APPCs (Draft Vote4All), of the Innovating Autism (Citizenship Club - Right to have Rights) and the Portuguese Institute of Aphasia, with the testimony of Francisco Branco.
