Our strategy – Our approaches to making change

(the things we need to do)

Develop and share evidence, stories and examples of inclusion of people with Down syndrome.

Examples of people with Down syndrome being included help make change happen.

We will share examples of inclusion from around the world.

This will help our network to speak up for inclusion of people with Down syndrome.

Empower people with Down syndrome and their families to speak up for their human rights.

People with Down syndrome and their families know best what needs to change in their communities.

We will support them to understand their human rights and have the power to speak up and take action.

Support Down syndrome organisations to become stronger and more inclusive.

People with Down syndrome and their families have a stronger voice when they work together as Down syndrome organisations.

We will support Down syndrome organisations to include everyone and be strong enough to improve the lives of people with Down syndrome.

Build and lead partnerships with important people, groups and organisations.

We can make bigger changes to the world if we work together with other people, groups and organisations.

We will work together with the people, groups and organisations that our network needs to change the world.

This is often called a partnership.

Coordinate advocacy for the human rights of persons with Down syndrome.

Our network will make a bigger positive change if we all speak up for human rights together.

We will bring our network together to work on shared goals with shared messages.
