Dear difteurs,
Last week was the 20th anniversary of the loi pour l'égalité des chances, la participation et la citoyenneté des personnes handicapées, which in 2005 laid the foundations for a more inclusive society guaranteeing fundamental rights.
Thus, h'up entrepreneurs was able to be present at various events to celebrate successes, but also to remind people of the issues that concern entrepreneurs with disabilities. We were on the Place de la République on February 10 alongside the Collectif Handicap to carry a call for citizen mobilization to advance the cause of inclusion and equal rights. ✊
On February 11, our President Damien Caillaud and Honorary President Hamou Bouakkaz were at INJA to take part in a roundtable discussion on the occasion of the "Handicap et Inclusion" stage of the Sommet Citoyen à l'Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles. We were also present at the Handilab for a day of exchanges and work in the presence of Catherine Vautrin, Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families and Charlotte Parmentier-Lecocq, Minister Delegate for Autonomy and Disability.
Another big news: the team welcomes Emmanuelle Charbit, who succeeds Pauline Arnaud-Blanchard as the association's General Manager, as well as our new Île-de-France Regional Manager Laura Lassegue.
A big thank you to you, dear difteurs, for your invaluable support and donations ✨
