Our Doors Are Open offers faith communities in Canada, and throughout the world, simple and creative ideas to help increase inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities and enable their full participation. Since 2017, more than one hundred communities have received our workshop on accessible worship. We know that many communities are thinking about accessibility and making changes but may not be sure about what can be done to improve accessibility beyond building a ramp. Accessibility is much more than the built environment; there are many things we can do inside and outside our places of worship to improve accessibility and inclusion. Our Doors can help you learn these approaches. We would like to offer your community a free training workshop (captions and ASL services included upon request). This on-line, no-cost program provides a quick and easy way to: 1. Engage your community members in understanding inclusion and accessibility. 2. Enable community members with and without disabilities to participate. 3. Develop accessible communication in your community outreach. Join Our Doors Are Open. Together, we can build a more accessible world, and fill a great need for people with disabilities to fully participate in their faith communities. Workshops are now available. Please contact us to schedule a workshop with your community by filling this online form: forms.office.com/r/Wh5NyLYKmR ... See MoreSee Less
