Break
10:00 – 11:20 a.m.
Design Thinking to Address Challenges
Dr. Juan Carlos Rivas, Associate Director for the Changemaker Hub at the University of San Diego

An important aspect of resilience involves developing a flexible way of thinking about challenge and adversity and being able to solve problems in an innovative way. Design thinking is a great tool to help generate options, test strategies, and get feedback to help develop a new business or program or even get unstuck and problem solve life’s challenges.

Through reflective activities and small group discussions, CCI alumni will 1) learn about design thinking mindsets that can be put into action to work with ambiguity and adversity, 2) do an assessment of current constraints and challenges (personal or project related), and 3) practice some design abilities and tools to address a current challenge.

12:00 – 12:05 p.m.

Understanding Disability and Building Inclusive & Interdependent Communities

November 4, 2020 by ltevents

Date:

Monday, November 16, 2020 at 9:00am Eastern Time (Washington, DC)
What time is this for you? Click here to find out.

Description:

Talila A. Lewis
Lawyer, Advocate & Author
Disability is a natural part of the human experience. In addition, people who are deprived of opportunities, resources or safety, for example, experience disability at higher rates than people in well-resourced and safe communities. Discrimination against disabled people harms all of us, especially people in marginalized communities. There are laws, policies, practices and advocacy that safeguard the rights of disabled people and ensure that disabled people have access, resources and support needed to survive and thrive.

This session will offer various perspectives on disability and ableism; provide information about disability rights and trends in disability advocacy; and offer concrete ways that people around the globe can ensure that disabled people are valued and centered in all types of advocacy. Participants will learn how to identify ways to expand existing structures to be more inclusive of disabled people and create new methods of inclusivity.
