The IBAS of the Ministry of Welfare of the Balearic Government leads a commission, formed by representatives of the social organisations dedicated to the different kinds of disabilities (physic, psychic and sensorial) from the Balearics, that decides the activities that will be held on the Islands to observe the European year. Amongst the foreseen activities, there is a fair, a theatre play by the group Sa Boira of the ONCE and a reaserach prize.
