This December, to coincide with UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Kanchi are taking to the road to kick start a national conversation on disability and we want YOU to join us!
Why ‘Start the Conversation’?
The theme of this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities is ‘Breaking down Barriers’. In Kanchi, we often find that stigma and lack of confidence discussing disability are the biggest barriers to inclusion. Through our ‘Start the Conversation’ training we aim to remove that fear of ‘causing offence’ or ‘saying the wrong thing’ that prevents many of us from talking about disability
Who can attend?
Everyone! This training has been designed to be relevant for any member of the community. We want to encourage businesses to up skill their employees and also welcome any member of the public that is interested in finding out more about disability. Anyone that has ever had a question or concern about the language of disability is welcome to attend.
Where and when will training take place?
Sessions last 90 minutes and will take place in Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork on Wednesday 4th December at 9am, 11am, 1.30pm & 3.30pm. This training is brought to you in collaboration with local partners and Kanchi Network Leaders, PepsiCo.
This event is kindly sponsored by the Department of Justice and Equality.
Kanchi is an Irish social enterprise dedicated to creating a business world that is fully inclusive of people with disabilities.
