I have just returned from a week in Dubai, presenting at a summit on accessibility and inclusion. I was fortunate to be invited to present the closing keynote on both days of the summit, as well as to collaboratively deliver practical workshops across the event. Undoubtedly the most enriching part of the experience was the opportunity to collaborate with peers who I have met in other parts of the world previously, for us to find ourselves in Dubai and to share the work we have built up through our practice across the areas of special education, accessibility and universal design. In this brief summary I will recount some of what I spoke about at the event, as well as what was shared by my colleagues, and other experiences that connect with the outcomes of the summit.
