The Grand Election Debate on International Development and Security in Times of Crisis

A Dutch Coalition on Disability and Development (DCDD) and Partos initiative

Together with Partos, DCDD is organising an election debate focusing on international solidarity. Political parties will discuss the future of development cooperation, humanitarian aid, defence and the importance of accessibility and social inclusion in foreign policy.

In a world marked by conflict, climate crises, and growing inequality, we pose the following questions: What choices will the Netherlands make? How will we ensure that the most marginalised people are not left behind (among which persons with disabilities)? How will we fund these initiatives? Join us for this crucial debate, where accessibility and social inclusion are not an afterthought but a fundamental starting point.

15:30 – 15:45 Registration
15:45 – 17:15 Debate
17:15 – 18:15 Networking and drinks

Please be aware that this debate will take place in Dutch.
