This event is part of our Stronger Voices program to build the capacity of Disabled People’s Organisations and to end all segregated education, including at the intersect of poverty, ableism and racism. We’re asking:

1. What can we do to achieve equity for Black and Global Majority Disabled people in the mainstream education system?
2. How do we move forward towards embracing inclusion?
3. What is the reality of trying to achieve mainstream inclusive education?

The event will be recorded, edited and posted here and on our YouTube channel
