The antic­i­pa­tion is build­ing: The “Egmond Circle” begins on Monday, Octo­ber 26. A week full of encoun­ters, discus­sions, and shared expe­ri­ences awaits us on the Dutch North Sea coast. Indi­vid­u­als with Contergan/Thalidomide damage from vari­ous coun­tries will gather in Egmond aan Zee to renew old acquain­tances, make new contacts, and exchange experiences.

Under the motto “Remem­ber. Under­stand. Think Ahead.”, the focus will be on topics that concern many of us: health and aging, assis­tance and care, aids and mobil­ity, as well as self-determination and social partic­i­pa­tion. However, the “Egmond Circle” is far more than just a congress. Exhi­bi­tions, creative work­shops, read­ings, joint excur­sions, and social evenings offer numer­ous oppor­tu­ni­ties to get to know each other and engage in conversation.

It starts on Monday! From 3 PM, you can regis­ter at the congress office in Room 523. Those who wish can already explore Egmond on the day of arrival with a walk or bike tour, visit the first exhi­bi­tions, or end the evening in good company.

We look forward to seeing you, to many famil­iar and new faces, excit­ing conver­sa­tions, and an unfor­get­table week together!
