The Polish people are dedicated to improving the lives of those with disabilities, but currently lack some of the infrastructure and programs available in the United States to do so. This Open World program focuses on advocacy for people with disabilities and will demonstrate how a full and vital life can and should be lived buy those with disabilities. The program will highlight innovative methods and practices, and will include a dialogue on what role government, both on the national and local level, can play to support those with disabilities. Another focus of the program will be on the role of NGOs and private sector representatives in working to improve the lives of those with disabilities in response to those advocating for such rights.
