Diversity Day Events 2023

Diversity Day Event, 16 November 2023

Our Diversity Day event was held at ELTE DELP on November 16th in cooperation with the Visual World Foundation. Activities centered around diversity in the family through photographs from the Fortepan Hungary and Fortepan US Archives. Ildikó Lázár led us through activities in which we had to make guesses about people's lives and their power relations based on the projected old photos, think about changes in values, become aware of the diversity in our own families as a result of our ancestors' and our own travels, and understand and appreciate the value in photo archives with the help of Fortepan pictures and videos.

Autonomy for physically disabled people - This workshop highlighted the difficulties physically disabled people face in their everyday lives, which they can overcome if they are given more support from society. The presenters chose different film extracts as springboards for discussing issues of communication and support. They are also  shared their stories and how they manage their lives so that they can live up to their full potential against all odds. They are both members of an activist group which aims to make it possible that  disabled people can live autonomous lives. At the end of the workshop participants had an opportunity to try to operate a wheelchair, a fairly challenging task.
