The Be Inclusive! Brochure is out now

Exciting news from the Be Inclusive consortium: Our Brochure is now available in all partner languages!

The Brochure consists of four key parts:

1. National Context introduction with an overview of each national context of the 8 countries involved
2. Policies, identifying the main policy approach in each partner country
3. Needs, specifying the different needs at national level both for people with disabilities and SMEs
4. Best Practices: lessons learned coming from the involved partner countries on inclusion in SMEs

By gathering national researches from 8 countries provided by project partners from Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Latvia and Switzerland, this document gives an overview of the current situation of persons with disabilities in the labor market at European level. As it will be shown in the following pages, the document will give insights and define national frameworks, thus being a good first step on that area where SMEs and people with disabilities meet each other.

Media literacy: A critical tool in the battle against Fake News

In an era where information is just a click away, the spread of misinformation is a growing challenge.

Media literacy has become a critical skill, empowering us to critically evaluate the news and content we consume daily.

Coupled with AI’s ability to detect and analyse false information, we can fight back against the flood of fake news.

By questioning sources, verifying facts, and using technology wisely, we can ensure that truth stands strong in the digital age.

Let’s work together to promote responsible sharing and media awareness.
