Join us for the 1st session of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Learning Series!

Join us for the 1st session of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Learning Series “Disability Inclusive Social Practices”, hosted by ANDE East & Southeast Asia and South Asia chapters in collaboration with agile.

Throughout this 2-hour session, you will have the exciting opportunity to learn from our expert practitioner speaker, Ian Jones, from agile, an impact enterprise from Cambodia that uses human-centered design to create solutions and opportunities for people with disabilities, on the following subjects:

  • Concept of disability
  • Barriers faced by persons with disabilities and how strategies can be used to overcome those barriers.
  • Basic steps to implement the disability inclusion strategy within the organization.

Most importantly, this session will act as a platform for interactive discussions with other entrepreneur support organizations (ESOs) on the disability landscape in different countries and challenges people with disabilities face, especially in the context of entrepreneurship.

The DEI Learning Series is brought to you by ANDE Asia Talent Development Series. It intends to equip Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs) with necessary information and resources to develop inclusive and equitable entrepreneurship support initiatives to give every entrepreneur equal opportunity to thrive and succeed in their endeavors. 

This first session on ‘Introduction to Disability Etiquette’ will be followed by two sessions on mainstreaming disability etiquette which are tentatively scheduled for June and July 2024. 

This session can only accommodate 20 participants, so make sure you pencil your calendar and register HERE by May 14 (Tuesday)!

Please address any questions related to this workshop and ANDE Asia Talent Development Series to Pasiwat Sutthirak and Vineetha Venugopal
