Enhancing Airport Accessibility for Autism: The Power of Small Steps

Corfu Island’s airport has recently gained attention for its autism awareness initiative, highlighting the growing need for airports to become more inclusive for individuals with autism. Airports can be overwhelming due to sensory overload—bright lights, noise, and large crowds. Simple visual aids, such as autism awareness posters, can help educate staff and passengers, fostering understanding, patience, and support.

The Radicalisation of Indifference

I’m back in Manipur after a year, and it feels as though time has stood still. What was a year ago remains unchanged. People still live in relief camps, displaced from their homes, with children and women carrying unanswered questions on their faces. Homophobia, patriarchy, ongoing armed conflict, poverty, lack of education, and rampant unemployment are deeply entrenched here, leading to widespread violence, discrimination, and mental health crises—PTSD, suicidal tendencies, and isolation.

Collective Rhythm Experiences with Vulnerable Groups!

We rumbled on and we rumbled on and the echoes of a swarm of children playing the djembes, frame drums and soundscapes reverberated around three Government Schools in Nelamangala and the children with disabilities at Snehadhara. Curious eyes peered on and looked over- trying to identify the source of the chaos and the melodies amongst them.
