Earlier this year I ran a workshop series for youn Earlier this year I ran a workshop series for young disabled people, aged 15 to 24 years of age. Over 3 sessions the group discussed topics such as the language of #disability, #disabilitypride, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#UNCRPD), #advocacy and peer support. I'm so thankful to all the young people who attended for the great discussions & for helping to make it such an inclusive space. Opportunities to explore these concepts with peers are all too rare, especially outside of research project or other structures. I’m very thankful for the support of all my colleagues in Centre for Disability Law and Policy and funding support from @fordfoundation. Pictured are some of the workshop attendees and their certificates when we met up virtually to celebrate. #DisabilityRights #YouthParticipation #DisabledYouth #UNCRPD #UNCRC
