This interactive, informative and reflective workshop has been designed to allow those attending to reflect on the representation of disabled people across society; from the definitions in place, the language used to describe disabled people, media representation of disabled people and the Models that have been created over the decades, which reframe how we view disabled people in society. We further explore the Social Model of Disability to learn about our collective responsibility to disable barriers to independence.
We are Equal Lives. A disability rights organisation based in Norfolk and Suffolk. We exist to support people of any age who face disabling barriers and we are dedicated to making their voices heard. We are a user led organisation (ULO), meaning we are led by people who access care and support services themselves - with every member of our board identifying as disabled. We believe in supporting people to empower themselves to live independent lives. We do this through valuable services including Information & Advice, Advocacy, Shopmobility and Campaigning.
