It is shaping up to be a very exciting September, with major events, showcasing the work of the DIIU.
Kicking off Diversity Festival 2024 on Monday 16 September is the 5th Annual Inclusive Education Showcase.
Join us as UNSW educators who teach inclusively present their work at this showcase, followed by a Q&A session. The showcase is a unique opportunity for the UNSW teaching community and others to learn about different inclusive technologies and practices and how to incorporate them into their teaching and learning to make them more accessible.
This will be a hybrid event. A recording and transcript will be made available after the event.

Stay with us on Monday for the DIIU’s signature event, Disability in Crises and Natural Disasters: Preparedness and Resilience, jointly hosted with the Australian Human Rights Institute.
Floods, fires and other climate related crises are becoming more regular occurrences. Yet, when we talk about disaster preparedness and community resilience, disability is often overlooked or misrepresented.
Join us as we gather experts to open up the discussion into disability and natural disasters. Tackling issues of inclusion, representation and empowerment; our speakers will share their experiences and insights on this important topic, encouraging further discussion within the wider community.
This hybrid event will feature closed captions online and AUSLAN interpreters. A recording and transcript will be made available after the event.
