LET’S was excited to participate in our 3rd Burnaby Festival of Learning. We taught a Disability Awareness workshop that invited participants to more fully challenge ableist notions of how we think about and label our bodies, minds, and senses. We taught about what disability is, types of disability, the current language of disability, what ableism is, how one can actively work to fight against it, and tips for disabled people and allies alike to better ensure equity in all that you do.
A thank you to BCIT for hosting our workshop in the Summit Room of their library.
