World Down Syndrome Day 2023

Each year, there is a specific theme, and for World Down Syndrome Day 2023. The aim of the theme is to:

• Explain how people with Down’s syndrome can and do make meaningful contributions throughout their lives, whether in schools, workplaces, living in the community, public and political life, culture, media, recreation, leisure and sport.
• Explain how negative attitudes and a lack of knowledge about their potential as individuals prevent people with Down’s syndrome from having opportunities to make contributions.
• Empower people with Down’s syndrome (and those supporting them) to advocate for their rights and opportunities to make meaningful contributions.
• Reach out to key stakeholders including educators, employers, public authorities, media and the wider community to ensure they see the benefits of enabling people with Down’s syndrome to make meaningful contributions and encourage these stakeholders to bring about change and disseminate this message.
