IFDM 2008
4th International Forum on Disability Management
22-24 September 2008
Berlin, Germany

“Breaking down barriers together”

The professional performance of employees is the engine of a healthy society. Maintaining this capacity to work is the goal of disability management. Valuable knowledge remains in companies, people maintain their standard of living and social systems are unburdened.
 
The International Forum on Disability Management has developed into a movement that spans continents, and new alliances have been formed. The people who meet at these gatherings are making a difference, tearing down walls between the concerned persons and developing cross-border return-to-work strategies. Disability managers from throughout the world exchange experiences and can learn from each other.

The German Federation of Social Accident Insurance (Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung, or DGUV) is a sponsor and mentor for the adaptation of disability management to the German legal and social system. The 4th International Forum on Disability Management is being hosted by DGUV.

Why do I want to go to Busuanga? My answer is, who does not want to go to a paradise here on earth :) Whatever compliments or good words I say here in my blog to describe that destination would be an understatement.

Especially now that SEAIR joined that bandwagon of airlines in offering Busuanga as a gateway to El Nido and other Northern Palawan destinations I am now enticed to finally visit the best the Philippines' can offer.

Despite featuring SEAIR here in my travel blog a few times I haven't yet tried to fly with them, well maybe now is the right opportunity.
