Innovative Policies and Practices in Accessibility

Heidi Latsky Dance will stage a movement installation of 20-30 performers who together form a living gallery. The installation features different and unexpected bodies in white clothing  (signifying all the colors of the rainbow and a metaphor for inclusion) moving as reverent sculptures in the space.

The Zero Project Conference 2018 will focus this year on Accessibility and will take place from 21 to 23 February in Vienna. The Conference will seek to connect invitees from many different sectors of society so that they can share and discuss ideas and concepts that really work. And, thereby, in a joint effort, help support the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Representatives of innovative practices and policies will present, discuss and inspire, jointly with world leaders from all sectors of society, with and without disabilities. Keynote speakers will include high level representatives from International Organizations, leading managers from multinational companies, representatives from leading NGOs, self-representatives, entrepreneurs, and many more.
