Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper is designed to investigate a central question How can society be inclusive for all?

Through taking an intersectional perspective this paper aims to develop awareness and knowledge of inclusion as a theory and in practice. It aims to engage students in developing a critical perspective on what inclusion means and how it can be achieved within society. Models for community capacity building for inclusion will be presented along with projects that exemplify community inclusion. There will be a focus on learning through the lived experiences of people with disabilities and work that has been done collaboratively to co-develop inclusive approaches and projects in education, health, recreation and sport, employment, community and broader areas of citizen participation.
