COFACE Families Europe’s Belgian member organisation Ouders voor Inclusie has launched a new podcast series titled Ouders voor Inclusie vertelt (Parents for Inclusion Tells). The series shares personal stories from parents about their experiences of inclusive pathways, highlighting both the challenges and the positive moments along the way.

The podcast focuses on themes such as encounter, connection, rights and opportunities, with a strong emphasis on placing the parent voice at the centre. Through these lived experiences, the series aims to inspire, offer recognition and accompany other families navigating similar inclusive trajectories.

By using storytelling and audio formats, Ouders voor Inclusie vertelt creates space for reflection and understanding, while making parents’ perspectives more visible within broader discussions on inclusion. The podcast is available on Spotify and via the Ouders voor Inclusie website.
