#CONNECT - People with Down Syndrome & Intellectual Disabilities - World Down Syndrome Day

The United Nations of Earth reporting on this issue: "#CONNECT - People with Down Syndrome & Intellectual Disabilities - World Down Syndrome Day"
The topics: On Wednesday 17th, Thursday 18th and Friday 19th March join DSi online as we host our 10th annual World Down Syndrome Day Conference as a series of virtual events. Speakers will include people with Down syndrome, supporters and advocates, government and UN officials and NGO representatives. They will share their experiences, knowledge and expertise, bringing perspectives from around the world. In session 1, we will look at the importance of #CONNECT (connecting) for people with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting exacerbation of inequalities. We will identify barriers and solutions to connecting to inform COVID-19 recovery plans and to build a future where connecting is possible on an equal basis with others. DSi is grateful to our sponsors the Permanent Missions of Australia, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, and Poland to the United Nations in New York and to UNICEF and the International Disability Alliance. https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-DSI - Click here for Live Captioning
