Save the date: from Monday November 18, take part in the events for European Disability Employment Week

Take part in the activities organized for European Disability Employment Week (EDEW) from November 18 to 22. As in 2023, the Institut Pasteur will once again be involved in this annual initiative to raise awareness among the Institut Pasteur community of the need to improve inclusion for people with disabilities.

During the week of November 18, on the rue du Docteur Roux and Hearing Institute campuses, activities will be organized to raise awareness among the Institut Pasteur community, encourage dialog and discussion and present the progress made on the action plan adopted last year.

 

Highlights of EDEW 2024 at the Institut Pasteur

The Institut Pasteur's Disability Office, in collaboration with several other teams, is pleased to invite you to several events:

 

 

Monday November 18, 8.30-10.30am, come along to the module 1 in the social building for a fun fact-finding breakfast put on by the Disability Office to kick off European Disability Employment Week.

 

Wednesday November 20, the Disability Office will be at the Hearing Institute from 8.30 to 10.30am to share coffee, pastries and information – a great opportunity to chat in person and ask any questions.

 

During the lunch break, come to the screening of the documentary A bras-le-corps, chosen in collaboration with the CeRIS, in the Agnes Ullmann lecture hall. The film will be followed by a time for discussion and reflection about disability and inclusion with representatives from the Disability Office.

 

Thursday November 21, attend the information forum in the atrium of the François Jacob building from 11.30am to 2.30pm. The Disability Office and its partners in the HR Department, the Occupational Health and Prevention Department, the Information Systems Department and the CeRIS are looking forward to greeting you at their stands, where you can ask questions and find out about the initiatives introduced at the Institut Pasteur and elsewhere to improve inclusion for people with disabilities.

 

Alongside the events, a competition on the topic of disability and inclusion will take place at the Institut Pasteur and Hearing Institute. The prize draw will take place on the Thursday after the forum. Several prizes are on offer, including books and theater tickets. Enter the competition and try your luck! 

 
For the past 28 years, European Disability Employment Week (EDEW) has been an opportunity to raise awareness about disability and to emphasize the importance of inclusion and equal opportunities in the workplace. It is also a good time to review the various mechanisms introduced to facilitate disability inclusion at work, to discuss and share views and to learn and raise awareness about employment for disabled people. For the Institut Pasteur, this week is also the anniversary of the launch of our disability policy, a key milestone in our commitment to improving inclusion on campus.
