Multimedia Advocacy Project - The Rix Centre, London, United Kingdom |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
People with learning and communication difficulties can often experience problems making themselves understood when speaking to others. Multimedia Advocacy involves supporting them to develop their own multimedia person-centred portfolio. Using this portfolio, people with learning and communication difficulties can share their interests and tastes, and better explain the ways that they would like to be supported. Also, in creating the portfolio, they develop new skills in the use of computers and in general social interaction and communication. |

“New Technologies are the great ally of inclusive education” - Interview with Isabel Martínez Lozano, ONCE Foundation |
|
|
|
|
|
"We are aware however, that social exclusion in this new century will not be due to gender, nationality or disability in a person, but more a matter of knowledge and education. This is why we are navigating towards inclusive education. There is no better tool than a University education to guarantee autonomy and quality employment possibilities for people with disabilities. (..) New Technologies are without doubt the great ally of inclusive education and a vital element for promoting equality of opportunity. We mustn’t forget that by improving universal accessibility, we are bettering inclusion for society as a whole.”
