Inclusive Digital Access: Learning from Lived Experiences

Manchester is on a mission to establish itself as a global digital leader by 2026. As a globally recognised digital city, leading researchers in Digital Inequalities from Manchester Metropolitan University, in collaboration with experts with learning disabilities, have joined forces to demonstrate how digital strategies across the UK can be co-produced and include the perspectives of people with learning disabilities.

This co-produced interactive session will allow attendees to think critically about the importance of inclusive design and policymaking for digital cities.
