Date: 20 - 24 June 2016
Venue: Institute for Lifecourse and Society, NUI Galway, Galway
The Centre for Disability Law & Policy National University of Ireland (Galway) is hosting its 8th International Summer School on Disability Law. The Summer School, entitled Bringing Rights Home, Civil Society Impacting Change, will look at effective advocacy and build on successive Summer Schools that have explored various substantive rights and themes.
The Summer School will focus on how civil society can, with the right knowledge, insights and skills, capitalise on the “new politics of disability” opened up by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) around the world in both developed and developing countries. It will give participants an opportunity to reflect on the overall environment and especially the relative closure of space for civil society in many places in the world and its implications for disability rights advocacy.
Much of the proceedings will be videoed and made available here.
Registration for the week is €330.
