Discussion at the workshop |
At the workshop,
trainees were equipped with fundamental knowledge on disabled people-related
stigma and treatment discrimination in Vietnam and with tools and techniques to
organize and manage the activities that help reduce the stigma and treatment
discrimination at their workplace and regions.
They were also
assisted in making action plans to launch activities to help reduce disabled
people-related stigma and treatment discrimination.
In addition,
trainees had chances to exchange ideas and share hand-on experience obtained in
field trips in order that they could analyze and assess treatment discrimination
actions concerning disabled people. After the training session, these trainees
will become key staff to participate in propaganda programs and reapporteurs to
help raise public awareness against disabled people-related stigma and treatment
discrimination.
