Making Development Inclusive is a project funded by the Directorate General for Development and Cooperation
- EuropeAid (DG DEVCO) of the European Union. This project follows up the
previous "Mainstreaming disability in development cooperation".
The objective of this project is to increase the inclusion of disability in
international development activities by the Member of the European and
non-state actors, in line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (CRPD).
Among the initiatives identified
by AIFO for the implementation of the project, there is also the making of the
video "Think big. Overcome barriers" as a contribution to commemorate
the International day of persons with disabilities, celebrated on 3 December
each year.
The drawings and animations were
created by Antonio Vecchio and AlanSmitiProd.
