Supporting self-advocates in Nepal
Accessible information and employment is important to all of us.
After three years working with self-advocates from Nepal online, we finally had the opportunity to meet in person last month.
This was part of the 'Include Us' project, which was a partnership between CBM Global and the National Federation of the Disabled - Nepal (NFDN).
The training programme has focused on self-advocacy and speaking up, producing easy read information and setting up an easy read service, and independence and employment.
Self-advocates planned the in-person training and wanted the focus to be on employment. We used Forum Theatre to explore the barriers to employment for people with learning difficulties in Nepal.
