Why Join Us?

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to experience our campus from a different perspective? Here’s your chance! Together, we’ll explore our university grounds, technologies and infrastructures while discovering essential insights about accessibility and universal design. This isn’t just another campus tour – it’s an adventure in understanding and empathy!

What Makes This Special?

Rare diseases often come without warning, and accessibility should never be an afterthought. By walking around the university, we seek to raise awareness about everyday ableism, accessibility, and universal design in campus life and to bring visibility to campus accessibility constraints. Let’s work together to make our campus a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone.

12.00. Walk Meet at Bluebird cafe steps and take a 45 minute guided tour of campus.

13.00 pm. Coffee and networking in Newman D101.
