Programme Description
What is inclusion? How can you do your part to be inclusive toward people with disabilities? Disability Equality Training (DET) workshop gives an insight into the lives of people with disabilities. This workshop aims to stimulate a deeper understanding and broader knowledge of the varied experiences of people with disabilities (PWDs). Through a highly participatory and interactive session, participants are encouraged to think about barriers experienced by people with disabilities by recognising stereotypes and misconceptions. Once equipped with this knowledge, participants may take proactive steps to challenge the barriers in their education institute, workplace, and society.
Learning Outcomes
The participant will be able to:
- Understand the definition of inclusivity and its application in real-world contexts
- Identify root causes of social barriers faced by disabled people
- Play the role of changemaker in support of the disability community
Target Audience
The DET workshop is open to all. It gives non-disabled people a logical explanation of disability and encourages them to become agents of change. It is a method that enables people with disabilities to gain self-empowerment by changing their negative perceptions of their disability and taking up leadership roles.
