EU-Partnership "It is a Match!" in Marseille

The next milestone of the EU-Project "It is a Match" is behind us! After Berlin, Bratislava and Budapest we were hosted by our french partner TCAP21 in Niolon and Marseille. 

From 8 to 12 October 2026, 26 participants came to France - from the other 5 partner organisations from Berlin (inclution gUG and BIS e.V.), Budapest and NIeredhasza (Mantorallas Foundation), Bratislava (ZPMP Slovakia) and Down Syndrom Association Malta. 

In our group were 15 trainees with intellectual disabilities.

TCAP21 introduced us two of its inclusive restaurants: Train-Inc-Café in Niolon and Petit S.M.U.C. in Marseille. Young adults with intellectual disabilities are being trained in both locations. During the study visit all the trainees from Marseille and from the other partners spoke up about their vocational stories and presented each other their inclusive training and employment. 

In this report, we introduce the different stops and activities of the study visit. Our host TCAP21 has put together an incredible programme, driven by the spirit of inclusion through action.
