We are looking for practices and public policies that support persons with disabilities in the formal school systems and universities, through vocational certification, pre-school, early childhood diagnosis and intervention, and non-formal education such as through sport, arts and museums. We are looking for innovations also in a broader context of innovation, for example at accessibility in curricula for key professionals such as architects or web designers, along with policies towards inclusive education.

The “Innovative Practices and Innovative Policies 2020” will be selected by the Zero Project network of experts in a multistep process, and will be:

  • Featured in the Zero Project Report 2020 and added to the Zero Project database on Innovative Practices and Policies
  • Their representatives will be invited to speak at the Zero Project Conference at the United Nations in Vienna (Austria) in February 2020
  • Will get numerous more opportunities like joining the accelerating program “Zero Project Impact Transfer” and taking part in our exciting new Latin America project with Fundación Descúbreme.
