Dear Friends,
Thank you for your constant support. The Trust for the Americas and our local partners continuously work together to generate a more just and inclusive society.
Our POETA Centers in Brazil are actively promoting accessibility for young men and women with disabilities. In partnership with various organizations in the city, the POETA Nexus Center- Arapiraca held a series of conferences in the National Week of Struggle for People with Disabilities (2019). The conferences addressed issues such as accessibility, health, human rights, and social inclusion policies.
Around 320 people attended the events ranging from diverse social organizations that serve people with disabilities, to academia and the general public. Two of the most distinctive conferences held were “The power to listen: if we are so different, how can we understand each other? What is the true meaning of the words and everything that is not said?”, “Emotional Metaintelligence” and “Top Communication”.
