The Network Building Project is a network of non-profit organizations, government offices, etc. serving people with disabilities.
The project’s first focus is on Newcomers with Disabilities (NWD). NWD’s may face cultural and language barriers over and above the challenges presented by disability. It may also be hard to navigate the services they need while adjusting to a new country, language, and culture. To focus on these challenges and try to develop creative solutions, the Network Building Project is organizing an NWD forum for mid-October 2022.
We are asking organizers who support this demographic to answer some questions about their experiences. This will assist us to identify and address the most important challenges faced related to disability and language/cultural barriers.
The responses will help the Network Building Project to develop a presentation, discussion topics and questions for our forum.
