The Alliance for Inclusive Education did some research which highlighted that many young disabled people we interviewed had never been asked to consider the issue of ‘leadership’ before. The films in this section explore some of the work done with young people around leadership with three disabled people’s organizations (DPOs).

This film explains what capacity building is, what it means to Disabled Peoples Organisations and why it is important as an ongoing process. This can help DPOs to be sustainability and ensure they can respond appropriately to both internal and external changes
