Our society has a tendency to divide and split itself. Term “inclusion”
Our society tends to divide and split. The term inclusion implies equality and cooperation amongst each other despite being different. But it seems that we tend to live in our own “bubbles”, and it is time to pop them. Activists that are advocating for people with disabilities fight for the rights of people with disabilities. LGBTQ+ for their own, and so it goes. However, we all essentially face the same experiences, human rights violations or discrimination due to characteristics that we cannot change.

Mūsu sabiedrībā ir tendence šķelties un dalīties. Termins iekļaušana paredz vienlīdzību un sadarbību visiem kopā, dažādiem esot. Bet, šķiet, ka mēs dzīvojam katrs savos “burbuļos”, kurus ir pienācis laiks šķelt. Cilvēku ar invaliditāti aktīvisti cīnās par cilvēku ar invaliditāti tiesībām. LGBT+ par savām utt. Tomēr mēs visi pēc būtības saskaramies ar vieniem un tiem pašiem pārdzīvojumiem, cilvēktiesību pārkāpumiem jeb diskrimināciju dēļ pazīmēm, kuras mēs nevaram mainīt. Ar šo sarunu mēs vēlamies pievērst uzmanību dažādībai un meklēt to vienojošos faktorus, lai visi kopā varētu veidot saliedētu, pieņemošu un iekļaujošu sabiedrību.
Sarunā piedalīsies Lība Bērziņa, kas ir iekļaujošas kulūras veicinātāja Latvijā un īpaši domā par piekļūstamību cilvēkiem ar invaliditāti. Anastasija Laizāne, kas ir organizācijas "Active Rainbow" līdzdibinātāja. Tengjo Kura, kas ir iekļaujošas kultūras veicinātājs no Japānas, ar pieredzi arī citās Pasaules valstīs. Un Veronika Saulīte, kas ir biedrības 3D Friends līdzdibinātāja.
