As part of the „Understanding People with Disabilities” event, a workshop „Analyzing Barriers and Finding Solutions” was held at the Gdansk Medical University on April 26, 2024.
👩🦽Uczestnicy had the opportunity to get acquainted with special devices and items (which are used by people with disabilities on a daily basis or which helped the participants of the event to feel like a person with disabilities, to learn about their limitations).
💡The meeting contributed to raising public awareness in the academic community of the limitations faced by doctoral students with disabilities.
The workshop was led by:
👥 Miroslaw Mlynski, M.Sc. – a long-time member of the Active Rehabilitation Foundation – one of the oldest Polish self-help organizations dealing with various problems of people with disabilities. FAR instructor.
👥 Marek Pienczyn, M.Sc. – Instructor of Active Rehabilitation. Led and participated as an instructor in many projects aimed at promoting the topic of accessibility of public spaces for people with disabilities.
