Disability Week
The United Nations General Assembly in 1992 proclaimed the December 3 As the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. With the firm objective of promoting the rights and well-being of people with disabilities in all spheres of society and development, as well as raising awareness about their situation in all aspects of educational, political, social, economic and cultural life. . For this reason, UMECIT within the University Well-being Program contemplates Inclusive Education that crosses all areas of the university to attend to those who have a disability.
The Department of Extension and University Well-being come together to generate spaces for awareness, dissemination and resilience of the population so that we can all understand that INCLUSION - EQUALITY - EQUITY "A COMMITMENT OF EVERYONE".
Be part of the change and join!
