Information

The PPN Disability Thematic Group (DTG) hosted an event at the Mansion House on Wednesday 20 March, called, “Access Issues to the Public Realm in Pictures”.  The Lord Mayor, Cllr Daithí de Róiste, made opening remarks and guests were invited to look at the photography exhibition that highlighted accessibility issues in Dublin City.  Members of the DTG spoke about inclusivity and equity and if you would like a copy of the brochure of the photography exhibition, please contact the DTG.

The Dublin Learning City Festival will take place this year, from Monday 15 April to Wednesday 17 April, and will include a diverse number of free events and activities for all ages and interests to enjoy.  If you would like to register your group to host an event, or look at what events to attend, you can do that here.
