Saphir Ben Dakon

My main focuses are

• Ableism in a social, organisational and personal context
• Supporting customers with non-discriminatory communication
• Aspects of disability equality: work and education; interfaces between disability, gender and migration history
• Expertise in inclusive participation processes
• Counselling on accessibility and empowerment
• Peer coaching and support for self-advocates in realising their concerns

How I can support

• Inclusive communication:I offer training on ableism, support the development of inclusive communication strategies or take on operational communication measures.
• Keynote & expert input:I offer captivating programme items on inclusion, either as a keynote or specialist presentation.
• Moderation:As a moderator or guest, I enrich discussions with my inclusion expertise.
• Writing: I write concise blogs, articles and specialised publications.
• Workshop & project work: I design workshops and accompany inclusion processes.

I was confronted early on with the topics that drive me today: inclusion and communication. My own disability has shown me that inclusion is not a given – but it should be. I am driven by the desire to make inclusion perceptible and tangible through communication. I am convinced that inclusion can only be shaped actively. To achieve this, people with disabilities must be able to participate in all areas of life. I have therefore campaigned for the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
