The Amandla Project: Removing barriers for students with mobility disabilities

Presentation Description: Through a lively chat between The Amandla Project's founder, Alex Stone and Amandla Project board member Carrie Byrne, you will learn about what inspired the program. Through discussion of Stone's journey to South Africa as an undergrad with cerebral palsy, you'll learn about some barriers faced by students with mobility disabilities in the pursuit of education abroad. An overview of The Amandla Project will provide examples of barriers removed by the program for students with mobility disabilities. These elements could be incorporated into attendee's programs.
