How did your event go?: 
Unfortunately, this talk coincided with a general strike against the actual law of education, so we had low students attendance. Besides, we had to start a bit latter because we suffered some technical problems. Anyway, the people who attended really enjoyed the different interventions and it was quite profitable, since they learnt many things related to mobility and disability.
