Join us in a disability and inclusion workshop and networking event! Come share your ideas and thoughts on how to make Dundee and your community a place for everyone! This is open to anyone with lived experience, those supporting individuals with disabilities, as well organisations and businesses who are or want to be more inclusive. Uppertunity, with Porphura, are doing research on disability, accessibility and inclusion, and are running a yearlong action-based research project. The aim is for us to capture first-hand what hurdles and barriers people face in living, learning and working, and then use this to create or bring together opportunities to overcome these hurdles. We will have 4 events across the year.
