Event description
Disability and Development
What does disability inclusion actually mean? Why should we be inclusive of people with disabilities in development programmes? How can be practice disability inclusion?
Join me for a five week workshop to unpack these questions and to take steps towards practical implementation of more 'disability inclusive' programming.
This is an online / hybrid activity based training with the use of scenarios to ground the information in practical applications. Participants will be required to attend weekly two hour online workshop sessions and undertake up to two hours (usually less) of offline work per week. Participants will also be expected to connect with each other on email at least once a week.
Who Should Participate? Program staff, Gender / GESI / GEDSI staff, community members, and INGOs
Over the five weeks of training, we will cover:
- Understanding and defining disability
- Models of Disability - from the charity model to human rights
- Disability Inclusive Development - participation, reasonable accommodation, universal design, dignity of risk.
