Join us for “What is an Accessible Environment?
A Facilitated Conversation” as we embark on a journey to explore the vital concept of accessibility. Participants will discuss ways of promoting accessibility, what considerations need to made and how culture & individual experience shape access to spaces and places. This conversation is meant to broaden your perspective rather than be an all-encompassing accessibility action plan.
This conversation will build the framework for a secondary discussion on ways we can incorporate actionable practices of cultural and community accessibility.
In the second part of our conversation series we will share tangible and actionable ways to create a more culturally inclusive spaces and places. What needs to be considered, who needs to be consulted, and how to advocate for. This is not meant to replace the importance and advocacy required to provide access to the disabled community but to support some of the intersectionality that may exist.
