  Implementing inclusion and participation  
  Dear Sir or Madam,

The right to participation for people with disabilities is written down in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. But how is it put into practice in various areas of society? Find out in our Topic of the Month whether and to what extent it is at least going in the right direction, what obstacles inclusion still faces and how different companies deal with the issue of participation.

Have a nice week!

Sport has a special significance in Ronja Holzes life: First it helped her to accept her new life situation, then she fought her way up to the world championship and into the national squad in just a few years. Which sports she is talking about here, which auxiliary mean is particularly important for her life as an athlete and how she otherwise rolls, she tells us on REHACARE.com.

Topic of the Month

Inclusion and participation – keywords that can evoke very different emotions. The fact is that much more needs to be done for an inclusive society. But there is no one right way. Because participation must be implemented in many different areas. Companies also play an important role in this context – and are already taking decisive steps in the right direction.
