About the Toolkit
The Disabilty Community Toolkit aims to help provide guidance and support for anyone who would like to start and build their own student community within a department or another aspect of University life. It contains both practical ideas and advice, as well as stories from those who have been part of community building within the DISCO project.
This toolkit gets at the heart of the DISCO Projects aims to foster community and build a sense of belonging for disabled (including neurdivergent) students. The first and current version of this toolkit was put together as part of the DISCO Community Ambassador Project, where student interns with guidance from their PhD mentor collated their experiences and knowledge of building student communities as part of the project.
It's hoped this toolkit will help to aid others in growing communities and further support the DISCO Project aims.
