Dear students and faculty members,

You are invited to the Transforming Disability Knowledge, Research and Activism (TDKRA) Knowledge and Mobilization event this upcoming October!

The TDKRA team has been working over the past 4 years (2016-2020) working with girls and women with disabilities in Vietnam in three rural locations. This project has primarily focused on the use of the arts to create a database and knowledge to improve disability policy with partnerships from Canadian universities and disability activists organizations in Vietnam. The hopes of this project is to put on center stage the experiences of women and girls to allow for sustainable and effective policy changes to create a more inclusive environment.

The event will consist of a film-screening of our documentary, an exhibition of the girls and women’s work from the July 2019 fieldwork, and an opportunity to discuss the works! The event is free of charge, with food and refreshments provided. This event will be accessible. We do ask that you register online through �Ӱ�ԭ�� Events or through this link:

Everyone is encouraged to come, even if you have not had the chance to register!

This event will be held Tuesday, October 22 from 4:30-7:30pm at the Dominion-Chalmers building (355 Cooper St.).

We hope to see you there!
