On December 4, the British Council Mexico and our (departing) Country Director, Lena Milosevic, were awarded by INDEPEDI and the Government of Mexico City. We received both awards in acknowledgement of the hard work that has been carried out the past years related to inclusion, accessibility and mainstreaming Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and in special recognition of the Temporary Job Programme we ran with INDEPEDI in 2015.

 The British Council Mexico was the first private institution to work with INDEPEDI in the Temporary Job Programme, the aim of the programme is to promote the right to work for people with disabilities in Mexico City, through the development and implementation of policies for labor inclusion, self-employment and training and encourage them to be included in equal opportunities without discrimination in the labor sphere.
