8 th International Disability Law Summer School 20-24 JUNE 2016 Introduction to the 2016 Programme In recent years the Summer School has adopted a general theme. The overall theme of this year’s Summer School is how civil society can, with the right knowledge, insights and skills, capitalise on the ‘new politics of disability’ opened up by the UN CRPD around the world in both developed and developing countries. This emphasis on effective advocacy will build on successive Summer Schools that have focused on various substantive rights and themes. The 8th Summer School will examine highly innovative and creative advocacy from around the world - what has worked, what doesn’t work, the surprise advances and the unexpected setbacks. It will learn from those at the front lines of change across a range of issues and with a highly impactful track record. It will learn from advocates in many different countries and especially from the developing world. It will afford the participants an opportunity to stand back and reflect on their own advocacy and other strategies as well as share their experiences with a very diverse group. It will look at how civil society can amplify its voice by working in partnership with National Human Rights Institutions and with the many disability law clinics emerging throughout the world in universities. It will give participants an opportunity to reflect on the overall environment and especially the relative closure of space for civil society in many places in the world and its implications for disability rights advocacy. The proceedings will be highly interactive with plenty of break-out space to reflect in smaller groups, especially about effective advocacy strategies in different countries. The participants are encouraged to share their own experience as much as possible since much of the deep learning will come from these interactions. Much of the proceedings will be videoed and placed on the Centre’s YouTube site. The initial morning - with Senator Harkin and others - will also be live-streamed.
