SKEP's 1rst Disability Awareness Campaign : INCLUSION - THIS IS THE NORM!

December 2022 – 15% of the population lives with a disability. However, if we look around us, we will notice that people with disabilities rarely are found among us. We don’t encounter them in cities, in stores, in our workplaces or where we have fun. It’s like they’re missing from the picture… and this must change because it’s not the norm!

This is the central issue which SKEP’s campaign focuses on, to change our attitude towards diversity and bring us a step closer to an inclusive society.
