Our Spanish member ONCE is launching a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) focused on the rights of persons with disabilities, in the framework of the Just4All Project. We encourage all EBU members to disseminate this information at national level and through their own networks.
Just4All is a project co-funded by the European Union Justice Programme (2014-2020) which aims to improve access to justice for persons with disabilities and thus contribute to the effective application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the European Union policies on disability.
In order to achieve these objectives, the participating institutions in this project, which is led by Fundación ONCE in partnership with the European Association of Service Providers for People with Disabilities (EASPD), the European Disability Forum (EDF), Thomson Reuters and the Institute of Human Rights "Gregorio Peces Barba" of the Carlos III University of Madrid), have designed this MOOC on the subject, which will be complemented with the training of legal professionals through the organization of different workshops.
Although the MOOC is primarily designed for use by legal practitioners, especially lawyers and notaries. It is also open to a broader public in fact, the course may also be of interest to persons with disabilities and experts in the field of disability.
The course is a fully accessible course for all persons with disabilities and is available in English, Spanish and French.
