Happy International Day of People with Disability 💙

Every day disabled young people strengthen our communities by sharing knowledge, challenging barriers, creating community, supporting one another, and standing up for your rights.

Your ideas, creativity and leadership help make the world fairer, more accessible and more welcoming for everyone.

This year’s IDPwD theme highlights that strong communities are built when everyone is included and supported. Disabled people should not have to “fit in”. Our society must change to meet everyone’s needs!

At YDAS and Youth Affairs Council Victoria, we’re excited to continue working with disabled young people to create a more equitable future 🌈

Together, we will keep building safer spaces, speaking up for inclusion, and creating a society where every disabled young person can take part, feel valued and lead 🤝

At YDAS, we’re all about empowering disabled young people and strengthening the youth sector through workshops, consultations, training and reviews, made possible by our amazing facilitators 🌟

We recently brought this brilliant crew together for a team-bonding day full of connection, skill-building and fun. With their wide range of lived experience and expertise, creating an accessible, inclusive space for them to learn and support each other was essential.

A workplace should be somewhere you want to be, a place to meet like-minded people, share your passions and help make the world a little better. We work to remove any barriers that get in the way. That’s what real access and inclusion looks like.

Want to make your workplace more accessible and inclusive? Check out how our team can support you ➡️ https://ydas.org.au/workers/training-and-services/
