    EDF's expansion during the enlargement of the European Union
    Mar 7 2022

    The EU expansion period marks a significant milestone in EDF's history. EDF gained not only 10 new council members but also new activists in the fight for equal rights for persons with disabilities.

    We talk to two activists who lived through that time. They tell us about their experience and what joining the EU and the European disability movement meant for their countries and for them.


    Enjoy Catherine Naughton EDF Director's conversation with Erzébet Földesi, former EDF Vice-president and former board member of the Hungarian Federation of People with Disabilities and Gunta Anca, EDF Executive member and Chair of SUSTENTO.
