The program was coordinated and organized by CGI (Center For Governance Innovation).
Throughout the program, participants engaged in enriching activities aimed at enhancing their understanding of the various facilities available to people with disabilities. The sessions were not just about learning new facilities but also about empowerment, self-expression, and breaking barriers. Attendees had the opportunity to share their experiences and challenges, fostering a sense of community and solidarity.
