Australian radio interview with athlete and journalist @alifrance5 that clearly explains what access (or the lack of it) means for disabled people. https://t.co/iarHQfezB6 #IDPD2020 #UKDHM This kind of thing still happens every day, sadly.

Happy #IDPD2020! We're going global!

We want to create and celebrate a global community of people who are disabled or who want to be disability changemakers.

But, we need your help to understand the global disability community.

The ‘magic of fantasy’ - how can we be more creative? Our research shows the many ways we can foster novel thinking, such as engaging in a good fantastical novel or film https://t.co/pPjN97MPJL

[OBU_SocialWork @OBU_SocialWork]

On the theme of #UKDHM, I've just found a whole series of BBC radio podcasts about disability history in the 18th & 19th centuries (thanks to @daniel_blackie). In the first one, Peter White tells the story of "The Only Dwarf in Liverpool" https://t.co/GpcRz0k0QN

[Oxford Brookes Sport @brookessport]

Our final post of week 2 is a discussion with @kitcutter9🏑📚
