This celebration aims to promote greater awareness and appreciation of the abilities, contributions, and strengths of children and youth with intellectual disabilities; foster positive engagement among learners, parents, educators, and stakeholders; and strengthen inclusive education practices that ensure meaningful participation in both school and community life.
Let us continue to promote inclusion and help create a world where everyone is valued, respected, and empowered to shine.
