Corangamite Shire community members are invited to celebrate International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) with a free morning tea on Thursday 3 December.
After the success of last year's IDPwD event at the Little Acorn café, the event has moved to the Rose Room at Terang Civic Hall where there is more space and more seating.
Positive Ageing, Access & Inclusion Working Group Chair Councillor Jo Beard said IDPwD started in 1992 to raise community awareness and understanding of people living with disabilities.
"This year's theme is 'Building on Progress, Advancing the Future'," Cr Beard said.
"It celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
"The Convention is a guide to protecting and promoting the rights of persons with disabilities, recognizing their full and equal participation in all aspects of society.
"A lot has changed over the past two decades but there's a long way to go to creating a more inclusive, accessible and equitable world.
"Council is committed to doing this by removing barriers that might hinder people with disabilities so everyone can enjoy a rich and rewarding community life."
The event will also be the premiere of a video created by the Hampden P-12 Vocational Pathways Class.
Students from Year 11 and 12 have created a video sharing what they love about the Corangamite Shire's accessibility.
Student Koda Wright said: "We went to Port Campbell, we interviewed people and collected data to find out what they thought was important, and what accessible things there are in the community."
Fellow student Toby Herron added: "We collected data and interviewed people from the community."
Teacher Tegan Vincent supported them to compile their findings into the video to share with the community.
Attendees will also get to meet Kevin Boyce and assistance dog, Tina. Mr Boyce will share how living with Tina enables him to have a fulfilling life.
