Subject: Call for Abstracts - 3rd CBR World Congress









Dear All,

Greetings from the CBR Global Network (CGN).

We have great pleasure in launching the website of the 3rd CBR World
Congress in July 2020 in Uganda.

We are now calling for the submission of abstracts/ proposals,
presentations and workshops for the Congress:  http://cbrglobalnetwork.org/<https://afri-can.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=458c63b4dc1f273ceb29346aa&id=edcd68330e&e=1e1db9f4e3>

We particularly welcome abstracts/proposals from people who are not academics
but are practitioners with something interesting to share.

We are expecting about a thousand delegates to the Congress from all over
the world.

We are delighted that this congress will be held in Uganda since 2020 is
also the year that the CBR Africa Network (CAN) will celebrate its 20th
year of promoting and supporting CBR.

 The Government of Uganda, Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development
(MGLSD) will officially host the Congress along with CGN, CAN, the
International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC) and World Health
Organization (WHO). On behalf of all of them, we extend a warm welcome to
all of you to this landmark event.

You will have seen in the initial Congress concept note that the 3rd CBR
World Congress is inviting for the first time representatives from other
marginalized groups such as women, ethnic minorities, members of the aging
population and other such marginalized and activist groups. We are calling
for multi-sectoral collaboration across UN and other agencies and
Governments and for solidarity between peoples and groups to work together
on inclusion of people with disabilities.

The Congress is calling for abstracts / proposals for presentations and
workshops on a wide range of topics, for example food justice, women’s
rights, the role of carers, disaster risk reduction, people affected by
neglected tropical diseases, as these relate to people with disabilities
and their families, that are innovative and practical – and even
provocative with a focus on learning for all the participants. We
particularly encourage presentations from under-represented groups and
presentations in unusual and innovative formats.  Whatever the format, we
expect all the presentations to be participative and engaging – creating
dialogue with one another, not just talking at people!

Our aim at the Congress is twofold: to promote solidarity among
marginalized groups and to share innovative ideas on inclusion, including
through the use of digital technology and social media for social action.

The underlying links between the topics of interest listed on the website
are empowerment, advocacy, people’s rights, organizing communities,
building alliances and intersectionality [multiply identities]. We want
these six issues to be the constant thread through all the conversations at
the Congress.

You can find guidelines on how to draft your summary on our website. It
should be no more than 250 words, but it must include how you intend to
make your presentation a dialogue rather than a lecture.

If you have any queries, please contact cbr.inclusion at gmail.com<mailto:cbr.inclusion at gmail.com> or on
issues relating to Uganda, carol at afri-can.org<mailto:carol at afri-can.org> .

We look forward to receiving abstracts/proposals, workshops before the
deadline of 31st October 2019.

See you all in Uganda.

Warm Greetings

B. Venkatesh (Venky)

Hon. Pres. CBR Global Network (CGN)
