CSC Alumni Nigeria and Sierra Leone

Workshop on Inclusion for People with Invisible and Visible Disabilities

Observing International Day of Persons with Disabilities

International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPWD) is observed annually on 3 December. In 2022, the IDPWD theme is: ‘Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world.’ 

To mark IDPWD, on behalf of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK (CSC), the British Council is organising an inclusivity themed alumni workshop on the topic, ‘The future of accessibility and inclusion of people living with invisible and visible disabilities’.

The workshop will include a moderated discussion that will address the inclusion of persons with invisible disabilities in society. The objectives of the workshop are to:

• Promote awareness of invisible and visible disabilities
• Promote the inclusion of people living with different forms of existing disabilities in the design of interventions and policies
• Promote inclusive language in both verbal and non-verbal communication
• Identify policy gaps within legal frameworks
• Support the CSC development theme Access, inclusion and opportunities

If you are a Commonwealth Alumnus from Nigeria or Sierra Leone would like to attend this event, please contact Roseline Obadiuno at Roseline.Obadiuno@ng.britishcouncil.org

This event has been organised by the British Council in Nigeria.
