Activity: Community Talks, Presentations, Exhibitions and EventsPublic lecture/debate/seminar

Description

What does ‘normal’ mean? GLEAM session on themes ranging from gender, disability and aging, to inclusion, and the need for participatory design to empower, build capacity and ‘knock assumptions on their head’. Rather than separation, we need to consciously think about communities as places of connection and integration for people of different cultural backgrounds, abilities, genders and ages. Core to the discussion was the need to think beyond standards and guidelines, and recognise the psychological and sociological contexts required to enable meaningful and accessible places of belonging.

Speakers Sheelagh Daniels-Mayes, Gill Matthewson and Jan Golembiewski.
