Insights from Delegates: CI Advocacy in Action in Brussels 2024
Nothing about Us Without Us ……..a reality at this first CI Advocacy in Action Conference, Brussels
100 delegates from 27 countries – including 38 CI users had their voices heard, sharing their advocacy successes and challenges – with passion! Thanks to all our speakers – see their presentations as pdfs in resources. Thanks to Shelly Chadha and Carolina Der from WHO, to Sara Robinelli, Prof of Health Communication, and Frances Gallimore – CI user and writer from Netherlands – who talked movingly of the stigma of deafness.
There are times in life when you feel you witness to something extraordinary. This first CIICA conference, led by those with cochlear implants is one of those times.
Global, inclusive, friendly, fun!
