Over the centuries, people with disabilities have faced discrimination, stigma and even systemic extermination. From ancient civilisations to modern societies, the narrative of disability has often been marked by exclusion, relegation and suppression.
To address this issue, the European Observatory of Memories (EUROM) of the Solidarity Foundation and the University of Barcelona, with the collaboration of Historians without Borders, the support of the Barcelona City Council and the co-financing of the European Union’s CERV Programme, are organising the international conference “People with Disabilities, Towards Inclusion”. Admission is free, but prior registration is required.
This is the third edition of the annual conference “Subaltern Memories”, which EUROM has been promoting since 2022 to discuss memories related to social groups that have been systematically marginalised and silenced.
