Konstantinos and Christopher are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from Cyprus who are leading a Youth Innovation Project aimed at involving the full community and local Youth Committee in a fully inclusive summer seaside festival.
Inspired by the gap in community-wide events available to individuals with intellectual disabilities, Konstantinos and Christopher decided it was time for Cyprus to host a big inclusive event that many young people would enjoy and want to be a part of. Konstantinos and Christopher hope that this event will raise awareness as well as community partners and Youth Leader engagement. Konstantinos and Christopher are inspiring the Unified Generation through their innovation in creating an event that will bring people together to enjoy time with one another and continue to fight for inclusion.
