Disability Equality Training （DET）

  • DET is a powerful tool that empowers individuals to create an inclusive society for all, by promoting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
  • Imagine being a part of the team that trained 80,000 volunteers for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, that's exactly what DET did.
  • With a global reach in over 39 countries, DET is making waves in promoting disability education worldwide.
  • Its three key characteristics: rooted in the social model of disability, the use of discovery learning, and the requirement of a facilitator who is a person who experienced disabilities, make it a unique and effective tool.
  • All in all, DET is a vital tool in building a society that is inclusive of all, and with your participation in this online training, you will be equipped to play a role in promoting this cause.
