The Social Welfare Service of the University of Patras organizes an event entitled “Changing the way we see disability“, on the 6th of June.
We were motivated to organize the event because we feel that there is a necessity to change our perspective towards the way we see disability and the way we talk about it.
The social model for disability, as opposed to the medical model which states that disability is a problem of the person who needs to be treated, seeks to change society so that People with Disabilities live equally within it, as the problem arises by the society itself and the way its members interact.
The event comprises of three parts:
Speeches related to the subject of the event
Disability awareness activities
3D Printing Contest award ceremony
