OAS and ORITEL to Launch the Program for the Promotion of Inclusive Education in the Americas
August 3, 2017
The Organization of American States (OAS) and the International Organization of Telethons (ORITEL) will sign a framework agreement on August 7, with the objective of developing actions that contribute to the social inclusion of persons with disabilities in the Americas.
OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro and the President of ORITEL, Mario Kreutzberger, will sign the cooperation agreement at the headquarters of the hemispheric institution in Washington, DC, at 11:00 EDT (15:00 GMT).
The framework agreement seeks to generate synergies in the promotion of inclusion initiatives for people with disabilities in the Americas based on a paradigm of human rights, not charity, pity or welfare. As the first product of the agreement, both agencies will carry out the Program for the Promotion of Inclusive Education in the Americas for people with disabilities. There will be training, promotion and awareness-raising seminars on inclusive education in nine countries in the region: Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, El Salvador, Honduras, Peru, Uruguay and Nicaragua.
The schedule for the 2017 seminars is:
• Paraguay - September 18 and 19
• Chile - October 3 and 4
• Uruguay - October 27 and 28
The program, which will continue in 2018, is intended for directors, teachers and officials in the educational community, parents and civil society organizations and for people with disabilities, as well as public authorities that make decisions on the matter. All activities - free of charge and open to the public - will include the participation of international and national experts with and without disabilities, and technicians linked to public and private organizations.
