Programme
During the World Congress, many different sessions will happen that people can go to.
There will be big sessions, small sessions, workshops, and lots of other activities!
All of these together are the “programme” for the World Congress.
On this page, you can learn about the different types of sessions at the World Congress.
You can also see the draft Programme to check out all of the different sessions and workshops happened at the World Congress.
What are the World Congress sessions about?
There are sessions about many different topics at the World Congress!
There are sessions about all of the big issues that our network works on – like closing institutions, inclusive education, and more.
There are also sessions about topics that our members told us they want to start doing more work on – like climate change and some of the big trends from the Global Disability Summit.
There are some sessions just for self-advocates, and some sessions just for families.
We also have sessions to help make organisations stronger – on topics like how to do fundraising, how to use social media for advocacy, and how we can work better with other movements.
Every single session has the voices of self-advocates or families in them – self-advocates and families are who we are, and the World Congress is all about celebrating their work!

What are the different kinds of sessions?
The World Congress is made up of many sessions.
Sessions are usually 90 minutes long, and will be about all different topics.
There are three types of sessions at the World Congress.
They are:
Learn Sessions
These sessions will teach people about a good way of working.
They will be like a "how-to."
The sessions will explain what works, and the steps that others can take if they want to do similar things in their country.
Engage Sessions
These are smaller sessions where the people in the room will work together.
These sessions might have discussions where everyone shares their ideas about something.
Everyone in the room will talk and take part in the activity.
Impact Sessions
These sessions will be about the different ways to solve big issues.
There will be a few speakers who will share examples of what they did to solve a problem in their country.
They will talk about the difference they have made.
