In this inspiring video, John O’Brien and Beth Mount share their experiences and insights on creating true inclusion. The key is to step into neighbourhoods, get to know the people who live there, and understand what really matters to them—leading to a mutual transformation—not only in the community but also within the organizations that support them.
A major focus is on implementing the UN Convention, which grants people with disabilities the right to live independently, have their own homes, and participate in the labour market—requiring courage and honest reflection within organizations to break down old structures and embrace new ways.
Change begins with stories that emerge locally and with a holistic approach that combines person-centered processes, organizational change, and community building. It’s important to recognize barriers that often go unnoticed and work steadily to remove them.
This video invites viewers to see inclusion as a living process that involves everyone and enables genuine participation—a valuable inspiration for anyone looking to foster meaningful change.
