World Wide Day of People with Disabilities (3rd of December)

  • What about people with learning difficulties and disabilities? Is my community and city sustainable, inclusive and resilient for people with learning difficulties and disabilities?

    The World Wide Day of people with disabilities is on the 3rd of December.

    The World Health Organisation and the World Bank estimate that one billion people experience some form of disability. Of those, it is estimated that 93 to 150 million are children. According to Plan International, these children are 10 times less likely to go to school than other children and when they do attend school, it is likely to be in a segregated setting.

    Is that the case in your community and in your city?

    What could you do to improve the situation?

    Explain your ideas about:

    a) The right of persons with disabilities and/or special learning needs to have equal access to education.

    b) The fight against stereotypes and prejudices.

    c) The importance of student heterogeneity.

    Support your ideas with a picture, a text, a poem, a logo, a cartoon, or a Giphy that you find on the internet or something you make yourself and post it on the following Wakelet:
