> Diversity Day Event at DELP

I am writing to invite you to our next Diversity Day Event. This is a series
of programmes we at DELP have been running since May, 2012 with the aim of
raising awareness of social issues. You can find accounts of the previous
events at: http://delp.elte.hu/events.htm#________________Diversity_Day_Events_

The event I am inviting you to will focus on how physically disabled people
can live autonomously. The workshop will be presented by volunteers of a group
advocating autonomy for disabled people.  This is a short summary of the
programme:

**Autonomy for physically disabled people**

This workshop is going to highlight the difficulties physically disabled
people face in their everyday lives, which they can overcome if they are given
more support from society. The presenters chose different film extracts as
springboards for discussing issues of communication and support. They are also
going to share their stories and how they manage their lives so that they can
live up to their full potential against all odds. They are both members of an
activist group which aims to make it possible thatdisabled people can live
autonomous lives. At the end of the workshop participants will have an
opportunity to try to operate a wheelchair, a fairly challenging task.

Place: R423

Looking forward to welcoming you there.
