Support the organization and implementation of joint awareness-raising actions on universal accessibility in the neighborhoods and activity sectors of the target groups.
Coordinate communications with partners and groups in line with the communication plan (calls for participation, invitations, newsletters, social media, etc.).
Mobilize experts with lived experience to support certain stages of the project and facilitate a non-mixed space for care, expression, and mobilization for women and gender-diverse people with disabilities.
Design, compile, adapt, and disseminate tools and training according to needs, including intersectional analysis grids on universal accessibility.
Manage project accountability, administrative follow-up, and documentation.
Plan, organize, and facilitate meetings, training sessions, and communities of practice with participating groups and partners.
