3. Preparing for the Community Chat
To help, you can write down some ideas to share or you can bring along photos that shows:
-
what makes communities inclusive - this could include images of spaces, infrastructure, places, etc.
-
what you would change or add to make community more inclusive for people of all ages, all disabilities.
This could include notes or images of areas that currently don’t work or don’t help to make community inclusive, for example lack of infrastructure, spaces, lack of connectivity for active mobility, and/or aesthetics.
If bringing photos /pictures, please avoid any with people’s faces in it for privacy.
