CONVERSATION 360 - an interactive dialog
ABOUT THE CONVERSATION
The Conversation 360° creates an open and safe platform for an interactive dialog on the issues individuals living with a disability in San Antonio face that create barriers to inclusion, independence, and a more equitable quality of life. This discussion creates a dialog for improvement, identifying ways in which the San Antonio community can take action toward filling the gaps, creating awareness, advancing public attitudes, and creating a community of inclusion for all residents.
Join disABILITYsa in conversation as we get together to openly discuss the benefits, challenges, barriers, and pathways to engaging in the San Antonio community while addressing the way each topic impacts our selves and neighbors who live with a disability.
