Inclusive Community Forum

The Inclusive Community Forum (ICF) is a Nova SBE initiative dedicated to the life of people with disabilities that aims to promote a more inclusive community. Our goal is to build a network consisting of all those who play a role in these people's lives, challenging them to take an active role in co-creating solutions.

Working on subjects that always have as common denominator the inclusion of people with disabilities in the community, the ICF focus on employability and education.

As part of Nova SBE and being integrated with the Nova SBE Leadership for Impact Knowledge Center, ICF relies on its vast network of contacts and partners to leverage and scale not only its initiatives but also its impact potential.

Mission

• Call for the community’s active participation in the development of structured initiatives to address the main obstacles to the inclusion of people with disabilities.

Vision

• Be the driver for an inclusive community in which every person with a disability can fulfill their life project.

Values

• Inclusion
• Equity
• Cooperation
• Innovation

Since the beginning of ICF, many people and entities have shown interest in contributing in different ways to the development of the project. For this reason, we have promoted several types of initiatives that allow the Nova SBE Community – (students, teachers, and staff), partner companies, people with disabilities, their families and friends, third sector organizations – to play an active role in building solutions.

In September 2017, the employability of people with disabilities was the topic chosen to be worked on during the following three semesters.

Through the work carried out by the Inclusive Community Forum, several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are being worked on. These define the 17 priorities and aspirations for global sustainable development by 2030, seeking to mobilize global efforts around a set of common goals and targets. The ICF contributes specifically to four of these:
