International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2023
Hounslow Council invites you to join us to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities at Feltham Assembly Hall on 4 December 2023, 10.00 am to 2.00 pm.
The theme this year is “Transformative Solutions for Inclusive Development: The Role of Innovation in Fuelling an Accessible and Fair World.”
Our keynote speaker will be addressing this year’s theme, urging us to find solutions by modifying the already available resources and searching for equal opportunities for those with disabilities, to pave the way for their effective inclusion. The event will consider the transformations needed for disability-inclusive development in sports, entertainment, media, education, and employment. The round table discussion aims to explore good practical tools to reduce inequality for disabled people in all sectors. There will be many opportunities for the young people to engage with disability-confident employers during our lunch and learn, explore job opportunities, and also engage with sporting institutions and other organisations on the day.
The day will include an opening from the co-chairs of our Disability and Age Equality Network to provide context to the day. This will be followed by a keynote speaker, a panel discussion and an engaging feedback and reflection session from the audience. There will be a ‘Lunch and Learn’ session at the end of the event with the opportunity to network and explore live vacancies from disability confident employers, sporting programmes and other exciting initiatives!
We want to see and hear from an array of residents, stakeholders, and young people from Hounslow.
