Saturday 3 December is International Day for People with a Disability, a United Nations sanctioned day that celebrates progress in breaking down barriers, opening doors, and realising an inclusive society for all.
International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is an opportunity for members of the ACU community to understand more about the capability of people with disabilities and consider how they can do their part to assist them to reach their potential.
You are invited to attend the “Empowering People with a Disability” Seminar.
