The European Disability Forum (EDF) is delighted to announce its new webinar on Tuesday, 11 September on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Speaker and content:
Orsolya Bartha, Senior Advisor at International Disability Alliance, will be the speaker. Orsolya will provide an overview of the Sustainable Development Goals at the regional level. She will discuss which regional bodies are involved, what they do and when they meet.
