Throughout the series, we will explain how to be inclusive and work with vulnerable groups, including young people with disabilities.

You will learn how to create architecturally accessible spaces, establish barrier-free communication, and inspire young people to become leaders of positive change. We will discuss the feeling of safety in space, the barriers young people face, and ways to research their needs.
