An Accessible Hometown

This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, MPavilion are connecting to lived experiences and driving a discussion of inclusive design.

This discussion is a collaboration between the social enterprise consultancy Amplifier Collective, and Travellers Aid, experts in delivering services to people who face travel-related challenges. The panel discussion will centre around accessibility in the city and foster deeper dialogue around the real challenges many in our community face navigating Melbourne, while exploring progress made and new initiatives which could help everyone to feel more at home.

Prior to the event, a group of Travellers Aid’s lived-experience facilitators will travel with a select number of participants from Flinders Street Station to the pavilion, treating the route as a live ‘case study’, gathering accessibility insights as they go. Their experiences will help to spark real-time observations and conversations during the panel discussion and subsequent Q&A.
