<\/p>\n

We spend our lives here at Indigo asking people in business to ‘think differently’, innovate and to challenge their preconceived notions.\u00a0 <\/span>So, in a funny way, this blog post may not seem that out of the ordinary.\u00a0 But it is… because I wanted to share with you some misconceptions that need a rethink. <\/span><\/p>\n

My 17 year old niece Ella has made it through to the final stages of an exciting new entertainment concept created by Channel 4 called <\/span>www.battlefront.co.uk<\/span><\/a> . With the help of experienced C4 mentors and support from the Battlefront community, Battlefronters turn their issues into fully-fledged campaigns and set off on a journey to achieve something incredible; to\u00a0(hopefully) change people’s misconceptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ellas’s campaign is called Let’s Talk Disability<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 See more for yourself at <\/span>THIS LINK<\/span><\/a> and if possible please ‘like’ or follow her as she strives to smash some of the most common misconceptions about disabled people. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally… if you dont think this matters… take a few moments to watch\u00a0Ella’s amazing sister Nancy on YouTube\u00a0– <\/strong><\/span><\/span>Battlefront – Some People Call me a Retard…<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks <\/span><\/p>\n
