Now more than ever there is a need to raise awareness and to support equality, diversity, and inclusion all around us. ResourceAbilities has developed a highly interactive Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion workshop to facilitate this.
Three objectives for this session:
1. Define Intersectionality and how it applies in the world around us
2. Identify barriers to the inclusion of people with disabilities
3. Look at ways to include people with disabilities
