Several scholars from Europe, Australia, and central Asia are visiting the Institute on Community Integration as part of a broad-based exchange aimed at increasing the inclusion of people with disabilities around the globe.
The visitors, on campus for varying lengths of stay, are from the Czech Republic, Spain, Kazakhstan, and Australia, and are working with ICI’s Global Disability Rights and Inclusion program area, led by Brian Abery and Renáta Tichá.
Tichá and Abery said the international visitors bring fresh ideas and different perspectives to their work in improving the lives of people with disabilities.
“We all come from countries with quite different disability policies and practices, but it has actually been smoother than we thought to find areas where we could collaborate,” Tichá said.
