Creating an inclusive campus starts with informed conversations and collective action.
Universal Accessibility and Disability Services (UADS) recently partnered with the Health Peer Educators to facilitate a Disability Sensitivity Training aimed at strengthening understanding of disability, accessibility, and inclusive student support across Nelson Mandela University.
Facilitated by Siwe Nare, Student Access Co-ordinator at UADS, the session explored disability awareness, reasonable accommodation, respectful engagement, and the shared responsibility of creating environments where every student can participate, belong, and succeed.
At UADS, our work extends beyond providing support services. We strive to build awareness, challenge misconceptions, and equip the university community with the knowledge and confidence to remove barriers that limit participation. Every awareness session is an opportunity to foster a culture where accessibility is embedded in everyday practice.
Thank you to the Health Peer Educators for your active participation and commitment to promoting an inclusive campus community. Collaboration like this strengthens our collective ability to ensure that inclusion is not simply a principle, but a lived experience for every student
