Rights advocacy workshops for students with disabilities, Montreal, Monday January 27, 2020

Rights advocacy workshops for students with disabilities
WHEN: Monday January 27, from 1:30 to 3:30 for the English version and from 10:30 to 12:30 for the French version
WHERE: 425 Sherbrooke street East, suite 06, Montreal (QC) H2L 1J9

The AQEIPS has prepared rights advocacy workshops to inform and raise awareness among post-secondary students and stakeholders about the rights and obligations of people with disabilities in a school setting. These interactive workshops will provide an overview of the applicable law, explain the means and process by which students with disabilities can be accommodated and address various barriers that may arise in the implementation of the measures. Arguments and recourses will be suggested to end discriminatory barriers and insure the right to equality for students. The workshops provide students with the tools they need to effectively defend their rights themselves and direct them to relevant resources when a discriminatory situation persists.

This workshop was designed by Nicolas Labbé-Corbin, law graduate from McGill University.
