RQMO 2026 Education Day
This year, RQMO’s Education Day will be held at the Travelodge Hotel in Quebec City (3125, boulevard Hochelaga, Quebec), with the theme “The impact of rare diseases – towards greater inclusion”.
This awareness-raising day is intended as a forum for exchange, reflection and sharing about the realities experienced by people with rare diseases. We want to highlight the day-to-day challenges, as well as concrete ways of building a more inclusive society.
Over the course of the day, several dimensions will be addressed, including social impacts related to schooling, employment, mental health and financial realities. We will also explore the physical repercussions, both visible and invisible, and their influence on social participation and quality of life.
Testimonials from those directly concerned will enrich these discussions, bringing a human, authentic and essential perspective to these issues.
By bringing together different points of view, this day aims to better understand the impact of rare diseases and to encourage concrete action in favor of fairer, more sustainable inclusion.
