Vedran Habel: Igniting Europe's First Culinary Contest for the Disabled

Join us in this remarkable episode where we dive into a conversation with Vedran Habel, founder of the pioneering NGO - UNUO. Embark on a journey of inclusion, empowerment, and innovative approaches to disability. Vedran narrates the story of UNUO's inception 15 years ago, its commitment to providing holistic support for children and adults with disabilities, and its transformational efforts to integrate them into society.

The episode's highlight is UNUO's latest groundbreaking project – organizing the first-ever European culinary competition exclusively for people with disabilities. Vedran shares with us the essence of this initiative, their endeavours across 19 countries, and the inspirational individuals involved. This competition is not just about food but about stirring societal norms and changing attitudes towards disability.

In a heartfelt discussion, Vedran addresses the prevailing challenges, including the lack of visibility for people with disabilities in regular workplaces, and urges everyone to change the narrative. Listen to Vedran's unyielding hope for a future where disability is not a barrier to employment and inclusion isn't just spoken about but practised in every workplace.
