On the 27th of June, we brought together people with disabilities, employers, disability organisations and officials in an informal setting to open up discourse around creating a more diverse workforce in Kosovo!
There was a documentary screening, photographic exhibition and open discussion emphasising the importance of inclusion in the workplace.

It was a fantastic opportunity for different areas of Kosovan society to connect and increase cooperation amongst organisations and employers, people with disabilities and the greater community, the government and the media. All areas of employment integration, social inclusion and discrimination awareness were addressed.
