Summer School 2006
This two-week Summer School was the first of its type in Europe to
focus on anti-discrimination legal issues on the ground of disability.
It focused on the potential of the
EU
Framework Directive on Employment Discrimination in the context
of disability. The Framework Directive is the single most important
legal instrument at the European level combating discrimination on
the ground of disability.

Summer School 2011
The purpose of this six day Summer School is to equip participants with
the insights and skills necessary to translate the generalities of the
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities into tangible
reform for persons with disabilities. A key feature of the Summer School will be its emphasis on imparting
practical skills in using the convention – no matter your region or
country. There will be sessions on how to interact with the Committee
on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the relevant treaty
monitoring body), how to draft Shadow Reports, how to craft effective
Complaints under the Optional Protocol and how to influence the
drafting of Questions by the UN Committee to the States Parties.
