The contemporary use of mentoring concepts, as a way of developing the capacities of mentees on the one hand, and the understanding of mentors on the other, is a focal point of this Initiative. In having a leadership focus, we are clearly adding to the capacities of people with disabilities to pursue individual lifestyles, build inclusive communities, and lead the way. The involvement of leaders from the business, conunity, cultural, social, environmental and local government sectors in a relationship with emerging leaders from the disability advocacy sector, will demonstrate how their sectors can benefit by including people with disabilities in their activities.
