EDC Fan Day
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026.
Location: Ten Patershove Service Centre / Gerlacus Hall, Diksmuide.
Organised by: European Movement Belgium, in collaboration with EDC Fan Belgium.
Welcome / social segment: from approximately 12:00 PM.
Formal programme: scheduled from approximately 2:00 PM to around 5:00 PM.
Context: October 17 is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
The event therefore links themes of accessibility, disability, social participation, and social exclusion to a broader European narrative concerning dignity and equal rights. This day is intentionally designed to be more than a traditional conference featuring only top-down addresses by policymakers.
The core focus is the exact opposite: bringing together people with disabilities, family members, individuals with lived experience, organisations, policymakers, and European stakeholders. The aim is to demonstrate that accessibility is not merely about infrastructure or discounts; it is about the right to participate independently in society, to move around safely, and to be understood—regardless of whether a disability is visible or invisible.
The European Disability Card serves as the central, tangible instrument in this context. The experience of EDC Fan Belgium illustrates how a European policy tool only gains true significance when people on the ground consistently advocate for its recognition—ensuring it is known and understood by local authorities, hospitals, the police, emergency services, cultural institutions, sports organisations, and the general public.
