Fostering Political Engagement of People with Disabilities
Workshop 1
In cooperation with the Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (HCD), the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Jordan Office conducted a workshop titled "Fostering Political Engagement of People with Disabilities" on 10–11 July, with the participation of young political party members and activists with and without disabilities.
The workshop focused on the mechanisms of cooperation between political parties and parliamentary blocs, emphasizing a rights-based approach to disability as a human rights issue. It also raised awareness of the concepts, roles, and functions of political parties and parliamentary blocs, as well as the mechanisms for effective collaboration between them, with the aim of fostering an inclusive political environment that strengthens the participation of persons with disabilities within political parties.
