Launch of new videos for IDPwD
Posted 4 Dec 2024
International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is a United Nations observed day celebrated throughout the world each year on 3 December.
In Australia, it’s a day to promote awareness, understanding and acceptance of the 5.5 million people with disability in the country.
Western Australia has its own theme for IDPwD which is ‘Confident, Capable and Creative: Come with Me’, which highlights the strength, resilience and capability of people with disability, and recognises the value of driving change together as an inclusive community.
We are proud to support Act Belong Commit Partners who champion inclusivity, diversity, and encourage everyone to participate in mentally healthy activities.
Launch of videos to recognise IDPwD
This year as part of IDPwD, we have launched two inspiring, short videos featuring people with disability who attend activities hosted by two of our Partner organisations – Ballroom Fit and Riding for the Disabled (RDA) Carine.
Danni – Ballroom Fit
Danni shares her experience at Ballroom Fit, a Perth dance school which promotes health and inclusivity through dance.
Sarah – RDA Carine
Sarah shares how riding, volunteering, and attending Art Club at RDA Carine has brought a sense of belonging and acceptance.
