DAC-Manifesto-2021

Mae’r grwpiau ffocws a’r arolwg yn dangos fod pobl am
ymwneud mwy mewn cysylltiadau rhyngwladol, nid dim
ond ymweliadau corfforol, ond sut allan nhw ddefnyddio
technoleg i gydweithio a chwrdd â phobl anabl eraill ar
draws y byd.
“Clywais i derm y diwrnod o’r blaen sef ‘glocal’, y term
newydd ar gyfer gwaith lleol sy’n gwneud gwahaniaeth
byd-eang.”
“Wrth feddwl wrth i ni siarad, mae’n rhaid i ni gysylltu’n
fewnol er mwyn gallu cysylltu â’r tu allan, felly rwy’n
cytuno bod hyn yn ymwneud â’r naratif diwylliannol,
ond ein naratif diwylliannol ni yw hyn oherwydd y term
‘anabl’, mae profiad pawb o hynny, profiad bywyd pawb yn
wahanol. Dydyn ni ddim yn cael yr un profiad gyda’r teitl
hwnnw, ond mae yna themâu a syniadau craidd y mae’n
rhaid i ni eu dadadeiladu yn ddyddiol sy’n flinedig, cyn i
ni gyrraedd y llinell gychwyn hyd yn oed.”
The focus groups and survey indicates that people want
to be more involved in international connections, not
just physical visits, but how they can use technology to
collaborate and meet other disabled people from around
the globe.
“I came across a term the other day which was ‘glocal’,
the new happening term for local work that makes global
difference.”
“Thinking as we’re speaking, we almost have to connect
within to be able to connect outside, so I absolutely
agree it is about the cultural narrative, but it’s our own
cultural narrative because the term ‘disabled’, everybody’s
experience of that, everybody’s life experience of that
is different. It’s like we’re not all having the same life
experience with that title, but there are core themes and
concepts that we have to deconstruct on a day-to-day
basis that are very tiring, before we even get to the start
line.”
