St. Gallen, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Former US President Bill Clinton gave the keynote speech at the inauguration of a new centre at St. Gallen’s university to study the integration into the workforce of people with disabilities , 5 November.
The Centre for Disability and Integration (CDI-HSG) opened in March 2009, made possible through the help of MyHandicap.com, an organization founded by Joachim Schoss and supported by Clinton.
The inauguration was timed to coincide with a controversial new advertising campaign by Switzerland’s disability insurance (AI), designed to highlight the need for getting people with disabilities into the workplace, and the difficulties they face.
The campaign opened showing posters in German, French and Italian with only the prejudicial declarations in black at first.
