As members of the General Assembly of ARFIE (Association de Recherche et de Formation sur l'Insertion en Europe), we participate in various European programs that work to improve social and employment opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities and special support needs, with a global perspective from the European continent.
We reflect on the labor and social contribution that people with disabilities can bring to our community, as well as the role that services and professionals play. Developed with DeLork, ARFIE, Les Genêts d’Or, SEVEL, CADIAI and Margarita.

It is a system that allows people with disabilities to promote their skills and improve their independence, as well as promoting equal opportunities.
Presentation IN-CUBA Project (English)
IncludNet is a Europe-wide program created by ARFIE (Association for Research and Training on Integration in Europe) to promote inclusive entrepreneurship. Its objective is the social and employment inclusion of young people with intellectual disabilities. For the first time, entrepreneurship training adapted to these young people has been developed, offering them a support network of companies that will provide coaching and mentoring services.
Social support has been key to the progress of AMPANS mission. Both in the achievement of projects that improve the life quality of people with intellectual disabilities and in need of support, and in raising awareness in society. We need you by our side to keep pursuing their full inclusion.
