Why There Is No Global Referee for Work Inclusion

Trade has the WTO. Health has the WHO. Aviation has ICAO. Work inclusion for disabled people has no equivalent — no single body sets binding global standards, collects comparable data, or holds any government to account. That gap is a large part of why InkludX exists.

EAEA Launches 'CAN – Valuing Neurodiversity' Initiative Across Five EU Countries

The European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA), in partnership with FORMA.Azione and organisations from Italy, Austria, Germany, and Bulgaria, has launched 'CAN – Valuing Neurodiversity', a new European initiative to mainstream neurodiversity-affirming practices in workplaces and education. Announced on 13 October 2026, CAN treats neurological differences — including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia — as natural variation to be respected rather than problems to be corrected. The initiative will develop practical tools for employers and educators, aiming to close the gap between awareness and action. This comes alongside a parallel EU-funded project, 'Unveiling Potentials,' launched by KMOP with partners from Portugal, Bulgaria, Italy, and Spain, which targets HR professionals who lack practical guidance on supporting autistic employees, especially those undiagnosed or choosing not to disclose. Together these initiatives represent growing EU-level infrastructure for neuroinclusive employment.
