Abstract	People suffering from learning disabilities are subjected to ostracism that is not unkind so much as condescending. Agora 12 demonstrated that the disabled are merely another side of ourselves, that training for them - just as for those not considered disabled - is a means of developing and acquiring independence and of becoming absorbed into society. While recognising the importance of including those with learning disabilities as far as possible in normal training schemes and conventional enterprises, the conference warned against going too far in this direction and that special classes and sheltered employment undoubtedly had a role to play. Emphasis was placed on the importance of training and the role of trainers and social workers in opening the doors of society to the disabled. The skills and human qualities required by trainers in this context were little different from those needed by other trainers, so that training for those working with the disabled did not differ essentially from that for trainers generally. This Agora was prepared in collaboration with the ARFIE network (Association de Recherche et de Formation sur l'Insertion en Europe), a non-governmental organisation created by the Fondation APEMH - an association of parents of mentally disabled children based in Bettange-sur-Mess in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
