The discussion will be every Tuesday night from 8-9pm, and is an opportunity for people who work or are interested in Disabled People’s User-Led Organisations to chat with each other on various topics of interest. The #dpulo Twitter discussion is resuming tonight (Tuesday 21 February) at 8pm.

The purpose of the #dpulo Twitter discussions are to:

Enable people associated with DPULOs to share the issues they’re facing and solutions they or others have come across

Enable people to share ideas / information / publications / resources they’ve come across with each other

Provide a level of peer support and networking for people who work in disabled people’s user-led organisations.

The topic for this session is, How do we ensure the wider engagement of people from other equality strands – such as BME, LGBT or gender – in DPULOs?

Please feel free to get involved in the discussion and share your views and perspectives. The hashtag for the discussion is #dpulo. Please do also share details of the discussion with anyone you think may be interested in it. I’ll write up the discussion in a blogpost afterwards, and share with everyone who took part and is interested in this topic.
