- Discussing the International Day of Persons with Disabilities
- Important etiquettes when interacting with the disabled 
- The proper way of greeting them
- It isn't only the job of organizers, volunteers, or administration to make people feel welcome. Even as a member of the general public, you should convey an open sense of welcoming
- Importance of showing sympathy, but not pity
- The need to foster self-reliance where possible

"It isn't only the duty of organizers, volunteers, or admin to make people feel welcome. It's also your duty to treat them like everyone else - with grace. It's important to sympathize, but not to the extent that you start showing pity. Don't make them feel worse about themselves. Don't stare excessively. Don't say things like 'oh poor you'."
