THE PARIS EGLANTINE INSTITUTE

Promoting access to knowledge and the development of people with disabilities

Created in 2008, the Paris Eglantine association aims to help and support people with disabilities by offering them services in various professional, social, cultural and psychological fields.

The lack of infrastructure allowing the reception of people with disabilities in learning and cultural places leads to the exclusion of nearly 26% of the French population.

Our institute was inspired by the rosehip, wild rose, "solitary", beautifying nature, to pay tribute to people with disabilities who, although marginalized, are an integral part of our society, in all its diversity.

Joseph Wresinski said: to consider the progress of society in the light of the quality of life of the poorest and most excluded is the dignity of a nation founded on Human Rights. »
