Season One of Pathways to Zero Barriers took listeners inside the minds of social innovators, advisors, and partners working to scale disability-inclusive solutions around the world. In this final reflection, we explore what the podcast revealed, about what it takes to grow, adapt, and stay rooted in impact.

At #ZeroCon25, Inclusive Creation joined global changemakers at the UN in Vienna to support 14 remarkable disability innovators through the Scaling Solutions Programme. In this article, we take you behind the scenes — from personalized support and collaborative workspaces to the final pitches and lasting impact.

We are thrilled to officially kick off the Zero Project Scaling Solutions Programme for the 2024/25 cycle! This year, we welcome a new cohort of Scaling Fellows who are leading impactful innovations that are transforming the lives of persons with disabilities around the world.

On the fourth anniversary of Universal Design Day, the community gathered to reflect and build upon the progress made in implementing universal design principles globally. Hosted by Inclusive Creation, the event underscored the need to transition from theoretical discussions to actionable strategies that integrate universal design into everyday life, highlighting its benefits not just for people with disabilities and the elderly, but for everyone.

Universal Design is not only a smart business strategy but also a legal and ethical obligation. It ensures products and services are accessible to all, enhancing market reach and compliance with human rights laws. More importantly, it embodies the moral imperative to empower everyone, allowing equal participation in all life's aspects. This approach isn't just beneficial—it's essential for fostering an inclusive society.

We have designed four webinar series build on the Zero Project Scaling Solutions Programme, which supports innovators in transferring and advancing their outstanding solutions for persons with disabilities to new countries and regions. The Zero Project and its partners Fundación Descúbreme, GIZ, Atos and Enable India are delighted to invite you to a series of free webinars that will offer tools and strategies for scaling your innovative solution. 

We're delighted to unveil a project that not only celebrates Universal Design but places you in the center of its transformative impact – "Universal Design Stories of Change." This initiative is not just about concepts and theories; it's about real people, real challenges, and the real, positive change that Universal Design brings to their lives.

The enchanting city of Zagreb, Croatia, served as the backdrop for a remarkable showcase of Inclusive Creation during the Digital Skills for Inclusion session at #ADSummit2023! Our CEO, Anne Igeltjørn, took center stage, playing a pivotal role in steering the narrative towards empowerment and inclusivity.

We're thrilled to share the exciting highlights from our recent participation in the General Assembly, marking the beginning of the sunset phase of the EQUALS-EU project. The grand stage for this significant milestone was set within the prestigious 6th International Economic Forum, graciously hosted by our esteemed partners, the Institute of Economics of the Latvian Academy of Sciences.

An international multi-disciplinary consortium of organizations joins forces to transfer and advance outstanding innovations for persons with disabilities to new countries and regions.

Every spring, the Inclusive Creation team rolls up our sleeves and begins the heavy lifting to ensure that our Universal Design Day celebration will be one of this year's highlights.
