The session featured immersive simulations and open conversations, allowing participants to experience, reflect on, and better understand the lived realities of PwDs; from the physical, social, and emotional barriers they navigate daily to the often invisible challenges that impact their access, participation, and sense of belonging. Employees from across the organization took part in the experience, gaining insights into how inclusive mindsets and small, intentional actions can lead to lasting change.
