The module is designed to be relevant to those who are or strive to be activists, advocates, or allies (be that family-, professional- or academic-allies). What does it mean to be an effective human-rights defender or disability-inclusion change-maker? What are the objectives of these defenders and change-makers? What strategies (tactics and practices) have been used, successfully, to bring about positive change in the lives of disabled people? When it comes to social innovation and social transformation in relation to disability, human rights and inclusion - what works, for whom, in which contexts and why? This module will allow you to explore these questions and find answers. Learning from real-world case-studies and from international change-makers (disability activists, legal advocates, radical practitioners and academic-activists) you will grapple with the challenges involved in, and opportunities available to effect positive change.
