Amani and Anna are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from The Gambia who will lead a Youth Innovation Project to promote Unified Schools in their community.
Over the course of three months, Amani and Anna will involve thirty Youth Leaders with and without intellectual disabilities in their play and hope to have over 500 social media impressions. Amani and Anna have plans to expand their project to other schools and continue educating young people on inclusion in a fun and interactive way. Amani and Anna hope that this campaign will start a dialogue among students, educators, and parents. By organizing a Social Media campaign focused on Unified activities, Amani and Anna are encouraging students with and without intellectual disabilities to join the Unified Generation and express what inclusion means to them.
