During an engaging workshop, we discovered just how (non-)inclusive the streets of Rabat can be. In a simulated group made up of participants with different types of disabilities — from a person using a wheelchair to a blind participant, someone with autism, and another with Down syndrome — we tried to handle everyday situations such as navigating the city, finding a restroom, or ordering food at a restaurant. What initially seemed like a simple task turned into a valuable lesson about the barriers that still exist in our society.
Another highly beneficial activity was the practical testing of spaces marked as accessible — supposedly suitable for wheelchair users and people with visual or hearing impairments. Overall, it was an inspiring week that opened our eyes to how we can make our future work more accessible to people with disabilities. The experience will help us create environments and activities that are truly inclusive.
The project was organised by NextEra.
