Hey P.U.S.H Project PodCast Family! :)
Please welcome Marcus Ward, of Letterkenny, Ireland to Episode 26 of the PodCast.
We talk about a number of different things, including Marcus' passion for Disability Rights, Employment Rights in particular, where, and how, began developing his passion for Disability Rights, through a week long trip to Lisbon, Portugal where he took part in learning about the different International, and European, Laws around Disability and, through that experience beginning to learn about so many of the barriers, and obstacles, that people within our Community, and the Community of Disability, face everyday.
He shares about his own personal experience towards struggling to find a job, and how those personal experiences are a huge part of the fabric to the work he is doing today to advocate for Employment Rights for our SB&H Community in Ireland.
Discussing Disability Rights, and Global Issues, we get into the topic of Climate Change, and talk about how it's a Disability Issue, as well as how so many of the Global Issues are so interconnected.
Marcus talks about his Education, and why his University degree was such big accomplishment, getting a degree online, and becoming Bilingual in both Spanish & French, as well as his dream of living in another country, and some of the different projects that he's been involved in through IF International, and his work as the Chairperson of the IF International Youth Group.
So great to know you Marcus!
