30th European Disability Employment Week Launches 16-22 November: 'Demystify, Simplify, Support'

Summary

European Disability Employment Week (SEEPH) celebrates its 30th edition from 16-22 November 2026, with the theme 'Demystify, simplify, support — Employment for all.' Organised by LADAPT, Agefiph, and FIPHFP, the week centres on DuoDay (19 November), when companies across France, Belgium, Sweden, and the Netherlands welcome a disabled person for a day, paired with a volunteer employee. Registration is already open via the DuoDay platform. The week also includes the H-Games inter-company competition via the United Heroes app, where employee activities unlock donations to the Fédération Française Handisport. For employers, SEEPH provides a concrete, low-barrier entry point to disability inclusion: DuoDay pairings often lead to internships or job offers. With France's disability unemployment rate at 11.5% (vs 8.1% general) and nearly a third of obligated companies employing zero disabled workers, employer participation has never been more critical.
