At SCOR, we believe that inclusion, creativity and shared experiences make us stronger. This year during the European Disability Employment Week (Semaine européenne pour l'emploi des personnes handicapées), we embraced moments that truly reflect these values. We discovered the power of solidarity and inclusion through Showdown, a sport that challenges perceptions and creates equal opportunities for everyone. Guided by Pierre Bertrand, French Champion of Showdown, and the passionate team from BienHêtre95, we learned that inclusion is not just a concept, it is something you live and feel. We experienced the magic of a piano concert where music spoke louder than words. A heartfelt thank you to William Theviot, who turns his Asperger’s singularity into artistic strength and inspires us all. Finally, we explored new perspectives during the conference "From the Field to Life," a journey through Jérôme’s universe that reminded us how experience shapes understanding. These events were opportunities to learn, connect and celebrate diversity together.
