Opening the day of activities, the Commissioner took part in a panel discussion on discrimination issues, tried the ‘Ability Park’ wheelchair course which provides an insight for non-disabled people into the problems that disabled people face everyday, and had his photograph taken holding one of the letters of the word ‘Respect’ to show his support for a society free of discrimination.

The day’s programme also included the theatre piece “What is discrimination?”, and performances by G*apeels, a group of young female singers performing a cappella, as well as BA-TO-CU, a music and dance band playing traditional rhythms from West Africa.
