Inclusion isn’t a day—it’s how we show up all year.
International Day of People with Disability - Australia is an annual reminder of how our society can do better when it comes to creating safe and conducive spaces for persons with disability.
This year’s theme is ‘fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress’ and it got us thinking about some of the initiatives we implemented this year that are actively contributing to more inclusive societies.
And, we know there’s even more we can be doing.
Swipe ➡️ to see some of the ways we’ve implemented inclusivity into our web navigation, our in-person events, even our marketing campaigns. Let us know if you’ll be adopting some of these ideas for yourself, or if you have some of your own suggestions for us to start implementing next year!
