" When people work together, much more can be achieved. Being part of the Millennium Fellowship will allow my peers and me to collaborate and bring dreams and ideas to life. These ideas will raise awareness of social inclusion issues and aid in reducing them, which will in turn improve quality of life. I am thrilled to know that I will make a positive impact on the world. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The Social Inclusion Project
Persons with intellectual disabilities are often victims of social exclusion. My project has the objective of promoting the social inclusion of persons with intellectual disabilities. This will be done by hosting events in which both persons with intellectual disabilities and those without intellectual disabilities can interact. Research has found that much of the discrimination and social exclusion faced by persons with intellectual disabilities are due to stereotypes and misunderstandings about those with intellectual disabilities. Research also confirms that social inclusion has resulted in a more positive outlook on the social identity and perspective of children with disabilities” (Albrecht et al 3). I believe that with proximity this problem can be hindered.
