Learning Inclusion is led by Sagar Prasai, a techpreneur and social activist. Sagar says “In today’s world, inclusive approach has become an insignificant part of anybody’s personal and professional life because human diversity exists. This inclusive platform strengthens people with or without disability to further embody the human diversity (disability) in the design process of their planning so that no one is left behind.” Sagar believes that courses on Learning Inclusion will be a great help for anyone who wants to stay continuously informed and upgrade their existing skills and knowledge.
“Courses on Learning Inclusion are the best use of the technology to understand and enhance digital accessibility skills. It helps you accommodate the human difference and understand the importance of inclusion”, says Suman Timsina, Executive Director of International Development Institute, the partner of Diverse Patterns initiative’s Learning Inclusion.
At the initial phase, we have developed one course called – Making Documents Accessible For All – Digital Accessibility with the support of Australian Government Australia Award, Alumni Disability Initiative Font, 2019 and technical support of Diverse Pattern PVT. LTD.
