Guest speakers needed

Invitation to be a guest at the “My name is ….” workshops

The “My name is…” exhibition which launches on Friday 01 August 2008 at Reyburn House Art Gallery, Whangarei explores the lives of people with disabilities. Sponsored by IHC and CCS Disability Action, it brings together the best of the photographic work of Hanne Johnsen.

In the following weeks there will be a number of events and workshops focusing on raising awareness and advocating for inclusion.  A particular focus will be working with primary school students.

We wish to invite people with a lived experience of disability to be involved in these workshops as guest speakers. If you are interested in helping to educate the wider community about disability and embracing diversity we would like to hear from you.  We value your participation in helping to make this a successful event and are offering a $50 koha for guest speakers.
