What is disability awareness?
Disability awareness fits into a socially minded approach that aims to raise awareness of the capabilities of disabled people.
Disability awareness campaigns are held year-round with the aim of changing people’s perception of disability and supporting disabled people by defending their rights and supporting their recruitment.

How ERDF Méditerranée wished to be part of this disability awareness approach
The ERDF Méditerranée “Disability Project” wanted to raise its employees’ awareness of disability
during EDEW 2012.
Ethik Connection organised a disability awareness tour that visited 11 sites: “L’Energie de la
Différence” A bus kitted out for rapid deployment, and 3 event spaces:
- Dans le Noir? le Dark Lab: tasting workshop including surprise products in total darkness, led by blind hosts;
- Dans le Silence! a silent coffee break supervised by our deaf hosts;
- Bulle Sensorielle: a relaxing experience provided by visually impaired wellbeing experts.
