We recently conducted an impactful school awareness and sensitization program for the high school students of VIBGYOR Group of Schools Electronic City, Bangalore. This session focused on educating students about disabilities, the appropriate terminologies to use, and the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, with a special emphasis on intellectual disabilities. The session was conducted in school followed by their visit to Asha Niketan Bangalore. During the session, we also conducted a simulation exercise, allowing students to experience first-hand the difficulties faced by individuals with disabilities. This hands-on approach helped deepen their understanding and empathy. Our goal is to foster a more inclusive and empathetic society, starting with our young learners. By raising awareness and understanding, we aim to break down barriers and create a supportive environment for everyone. We are committed to continuing our work with educational institutes, including schools and colleges, to spread awareness and knowledge about disabilities. Together, we can make a difference! If you are an educational institution, degree college, or corporate entity, and you are interested in partnering with us for similar programs, please reach out to us. Let's work together to create a more inclusive future! Thank you to the Management and Teachers of VIBGYOR Group of Schools for this opportunity and for taking efforts to help them learn about disabilities and Inclusiveness. #withandwithoutdisabilities #intellectualdisabilities #senistization #disabilityinclusion #FMRIndia Bharathi Gopalakrishnan Premanand Edward Malyakkal Subin Varghese Jonathan Boulet-Groulx Sneha Patnaik Prithvi Raj rajeevancc rajeevancc Jay Kumar Madhizhagan Mohan
