Global Center for Inclusion in Education

In July 2024, Special Olympics Global Center for Inclusion in Education and Special Olympics Argentina hosted the Excellence in Action: Expanding Unified Champion Schools workshop, with support from His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, president of the United Arab Emirates, an event aimed at introducing and expanding Unified Champion Schools (UCS) programming.

We spent some time with Sara Minkara, Special Advisor on International Disability Rights, to learn more about her perspective and the role of teachers in her life:

Special Olympics looks back at the last World Games and a meaningful partnership that established new programs and bolstered education initiatives.

As the Unified Champion School project spreads around the world, Special Olympics Pakistan hosts Unified Hikes to engage students and community members.

Special education teacher Ramona works with Special Olympics Romania to provide opportunity for her students with and without disabilities.

Cairo student Farah, whose sister Hana has intellectual disability, aims to spread inclusion at her university and within her community through Special Olympics Unified activities.
