Celebrating International Day of Disabled People

When: 3 December 2013, 1.30 pm

Venue: The Menuhin Room, Third Floor, Central Library, Guildhall Square, Portsmouth, PO1 2DX

December 3 each year marks International Day of Disabled People, a United Nations sanctioned day aimed at increasing public awareness, understanding and acceptance of persons with disability and in celebrating the achievements and contributions of people with disability.

This year we are running an event to celebrate International Day of Disabled People.

• Blue Apple productions will be performing their play called "Living without fear". Six actors from Blue Apple’s touring company, who themselves have learning disabilities, bring an authentic voice to this fearless and empowering examination of disability hate crime, mate crime and harassment.

• Lauren Steadman, paralympian, will give an inspirational talk about her experiences of being paralympian swimmer.

• There will also be time to network and look at information stands from statutory organisations as well as local disability groups.

Tea and coffee will be available.
