CONNECT for World Down Syndrome Day 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of us, individuals and organizations, to adapt the ways that we connect and communicate with each other. It has been a huge challenge and many people, particularly those with disabilities, have been left behind. It is important to find new ways of connecting that are accessible to everyone.
The focus of the EDSA campaign “CONNECT” is on how we can enable people with Down Syndrome to stay in contact with others, how they can participate and stay connected to the world, especially in this pandemic times. What can we do or what did we do to facilitate them, to take part in activities and not be separated or left alone. From 1st to 21st march we show good examples from all over Europe!
