WeWill is a learning program that teaches primary school students about disabilities and universal design. The program brings them together with people with disabilities in their local community, who they collaborate with to envision a more inclusive world.
Far too often, people with disabilities are met with prejudice and a lack of understanding, which leads to loneliness and challenges, both on a professional and a personal level. There are many indications that we ought to become better at understanding people with disabilities and their world from an early age. This is why the designer, in collaboration with Aarhus International School, SUMH and Aarhus Municipality, has explored how it is possible, through play and creativity, to develop an inclusive approach to disability in children 8-12 years of age, and thus proactively prepare them to meet people with disabilities openly and on equal terms.
