International Day of People with Disabilities is one day on the international calendar, yet it symbolizes the actions we should take every day, in order to create diverse and accepting communities.

• Celebration – to recognize and value the diversity of our global community, and to cherish the role we all play, regardless of our abilities;
• Learning – to understand and learn from the experiences of people with living with a disability;
• It is a day for optimism – to look towards the future and the creation of a world where a person is not characterised by their disabilities, but by their abilities;
• Action – where all people, organisations, agencies and charities not only show their support for International Day of People with Disabilities, but take on a commitment to create a world characterised by equal human rights.
