Building resilience in individuals of all abilities (Model pledge)

ا)‌ أهداف التعهد

As the platform for over 4,5 million individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families worldwide, Special Olympics acknowledges, commends and supports the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies on their important commitment to ensuring that their Movement is inclusive of individuals of all abilities. We further recognize the value of building a global network of individuals, families and communities that are resilient in the face of hardship, disaster and conflict – especially amongst the most marginalized and vulnerable in our societies. Special Olympics pledges to support the One Billion Coalition for Resilience by promoting and enabling individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families to gain the skills, resources and access to services that will improve their resilience and contribute to the strengthening of countless, inclusive communities. Special Olympics uses  the transformative power of sports to bring about lasting change to individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families on and beyond the sportsfield. Our vision is that sport will open hearts and minds towards people with intellectual disabilities and create inclusive communities all over the world.
