Last week, we partnered with @mimbrussels to host a press conference about the #EUDisabilityCard.

Holders of the Belgian pilot version of the #EUDisabilityCard were then able to use it and go on a guided tour.

@Euronews followed and reported:

"#EUDisabilityCard proposals welcome, but disability organisations want more"

@EURACTIV journalists were present at our press conference and prepared an excellent article stating our position:

The #EUDisabilityCard proposal is out!

But it's just the first step in a long journey.

Good news!

The @EU_Commission will present the proposal for the #EUDisabilityCard in one week:
▶️6 September around 12:00 CEST!

Follow their social media on the day or:

The #EUDisabilityCard must facilitate education in the EU, especially by providing proper assistance and support for persons in mobility programmes like @EUErasmusPlus and #EUSolidarityCorps!

Read our demands: https://www.edf-feph.org/eu-disability-card/

We want a #EUDisabilityCard that includes a non-digital (physical) version:
➡️ We propose a Credit Card format for ease of use
➡️ It must be separate from EU Parking Card

How can the upcoming expansion of the #EUDisabilityCard support travelling for passengers with disabilities?
