The activity is carried out within the framework of the “Inclusion 1” project - Component implemented by ACDC in the period 2023-2024.

The purpose of the exchange is to improve the capacity and initiative of organizations, groups, and clubs of persons with disabilities, as well as to share experiences and connect with the participation of women with disabilities.

In addition, through group discussions, general exchanges and drawings, the ACDC’s Project Coordinator guided the clubs to review their establishment and development process to orient their club development plans in the near future.
