People who have disabilities are the best people to report on the issues that affect them.
Hear directly from our citizen reporters (https://inclusivefutures.org/citizen-reporting/), a group of young people who have disabilities living across the world. By producing their own audio reports, exploring the work being done to improve the lives of people with disabilities, and asking challenging questions to people on the streets where they live, they're unearthing views, attitudes and perspectives of disability.
Together with Inclusive Futures (https://inclusivefutures.org/), an initiative working towards disability inclusion, they'll bring you one-on-one interviews, conversations, round table discussions and radio style documentaries.
