Join the Youth Disability Advocacy Network for our FREE Community Attitudes Campaign Launch!

About the Campaign:

This project is led and co-designed by young people (12-25) with Disability. Produced with the Disabled-led Bus Stop Films, we have created a campaign that directly challenges the assumptions that shape our systems and changes how people think about Disability.

Disabled people are capable, not courageous. We are skilled, not special. We exist. Deal with it.

Come along to hear from the young people leading this project and be the first to watch our new campaign video. Everyone is welcome – from young people and community members to decision-makers and the media.

📅The Details:

When: Saturday 14 February, 1.00PM - 4.00PM (AWST)

In Person: The Hub, Bentley Technology Park

Online: Via immersive 360° livestream

Event Run-Down:

We will start the afternoon with a vibrant Welcome to Country by local young people, followed by an address from YDAN CEO Isabella Choate. The team will share the journey of the project before we show the campaign video for the first time.

After the video, we will have a break for afternoon tea. We will then hear from Senator Jordon Steele-John, followed by a Q&A panel with the young people leading the campaign. We will finish the day with time for everyone to chat and connect.
