Organize an Event
One central aspect of World AT Day is that events can take place on-the-ground or online. They bring people together, drive conversations and accelerate action towards a world where everyone, everywhere has access to the assistive technology they need.
An event is a great chance to engage political decision-makers and to bring in the media.
World AT Day offers an opportunity for many different types of events:
- Do you want to raise awareness? Consider organising a community event such as public gatherings, rallies or exhibitions.
- This is a great opportunity to involve leaders so think of a national event that brings together key stakeholders such as the government and civil society.
