Conferences attended by Building Bridges Training volunteers
Building Bridges Training • February 7, 2020
Several of the members from Building Bridges Training were volunteers at the Inclusion International World Congress at the International Conference Centre in Birmingham which took place between 30 May to 1 June 2020.
The event was attended by people from over 70 countries to share stories of inclusion and good practice in promoting the rights of people with a learning disability.
Getting Things Changed Conference
Nazia, Samantha and Liz also attended ‘Getting Things Changed’ that was held at the SS Great Britain on 25 May 2018.
We also enjoyed a tour of the ship in our lunch break!
Getting Things Changed (Tackling Disabling Practices: Co-production and Change) is a three year research programme funded by the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) in the United Kingdom. The programme started in April 2015.
Building Bridges Training are offering to produce one piece of easy read information by the end of March 2025. We are looking for ideas from groups, or individuals with a learning disability.
Building Bridges are working on a project about ‘reasonable adjustments’; and the small things mainstream services can do to make a big difference to people with a learning disability.
We are still working on these easy read documents, and they should be available soon. We are working closely with climate change activists to ensure our information is correct.
