World Disability Day

A seminar to be held at the university in commemoration of World Disability Day will feature two athletes with disabilities and a faculty member; the program includes sharing their achievements in sports and academic life, providing information about the challenges they face and their solutions, holding an interactive question-and-answer session with participants, and presenting short videos and presentations aimed at raising awareness about individuals with disabilities. The purpose of this seminar is to draw attention to the issues faced by individuals with disabilities and raise awareness, to motivate by highlighting their achievements in sports and academic life, to develop societal awareness and empathy toward individuals with disabilities, and to inform university students, academics, and other participants about inclusion and equality. In the scope of World Disability Day, a video was produced to raise awareness; the video featured the difficulties individuals with disabilities encounter in daily life, their achievements in sports and academic endeavors, their participation in social life, and the importance of inclusivity. The video was prepared with the participation of university students, academics, and various segments of society, aiming to increase empathy, foster positive attitudes toward individuals with disabilities, and raise the level of social awareness. After filming, the completed video was shared at events and through the university’s communication channels.
