CAPtalks<\/h2>\n

To give the approximately 100,000 children with disabilities in the Netherlands a voice, the concept of CAPtalks was created. These are stories by<\/em> children with disabilities, told<\/em> by children with disabilities. Because no one has more experience with life\u2019s obstacles than these children themselves. But equally, no one has more ideas about how to overcome these obstacles and seize opportunities.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with the Disabled Child foundation, the first CAPtalks event was organized in 2018. Held at De Flint in Amersfoort, ten children shared their stories and presented their views on what needs to change to improve the position of children with disabilities. It was an unforgettable afternoon filled with beautiful and inspiring stories. Singer Douwe Bob, ambassador for the Disabled Child foundation, performed, and Princess Laurentien also attended, highlighting once again the importance of listening to children with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, there were three winners: Robin<\/strong>, Marie Claire<\/strong>, and Julian<\/strong>. Together with Merijn<\/strong>, they became the new quartet of child ambassadors for the Disabled Child foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>
