Hanna will lead a team of Special Olympics Youth Leaders, educators, and administrators to host interactive workshops and events to share the importance of Special Olympics Unified Schools and Unified Sports in creating opportunities for individuals with and without intellectual disabilities.

Through her project, she will share how others can to participate in interactive sports, fitness, health, and recreational activities that promote social inclusion.

Over six months, Hanna will lead her team in activities where they can share their stories and reflections in workshops to promote and inspire others to share the importance of Special Olympics Unified Schools and Unified Sports programs in Belarus. Hanna’s project will empower individuals with and without intellectual disabilities to engage through the power of sports. Hanna's program will culminate with a sports festival named, “I + You = We,” a demonstration and celebration of inclusion in communities across Belarus. By promoting Unified Sports and Unified Schools through her “I + You = We” event, Hanna hopes to recruit new Special Olympics Youth Leaders to join the Unified Generation and create future opportunities for communities in Belarus to celebrate inclusion.
