Amman, Feb 3 (Petra) -- Orange Jordan organized an awareness session at the Innovation Hub under its umbrella "Differently Abled, Definitely Enabled" for empowering persons with disabilities.

Commemorating the International Day of Education, the event focused on fostering an environment of inclusive education and digital culture for persons with disabilities in Jordan, according to a company statement.

The session highlighted the importance of inclusivity in education. It reflected on the restrictions found in accessing supportive technologies, the lack of inclusive educational environments, gaps in digital skills training, and a scope of other challenges in society related to prevailing perceptions.

The event targeted two core groups, including supervising trainers working in educational institutions, vocational training centers, and civil society organizations, in addition to youth with disabilities (ages 18–35). It aimed at promoting awareness of inclusive education concepts for trainers and enabling the youth to utilize digital tools effectively to support their learning and career goals.

Key discussions centered on inclusive education, covering means to enable accessibility in this digital era, the importance of developing training and educational content focused on the needs of persons with disabilities, and reviewing inclusive educational strategies that keep pace with the best international practices in the field. The event comes in line with the International Day of Education which dedicated this year to "the power of youth as co-creators of education." //Petra// AF
