On Saturday 5 January, we launched the Youth Ambassador training sessions with a bang! (Well, there was an unexpected disturbance just outside due to a protest).

Youth Ambassadors from 3 schools got together at Ida Rieu to:

1. Learn beginner’s sign language,

2. Make Inclusive Ludo games,

3. And learn about disabilities and inclusive society.

The group that produced the best Ludo set came up with a name for the group as well: ‘Jazba’!

This was the first of four training sessions for Youth Ambassadors. Students from Froebel Education Center, Ida Rieu and Southshore attended with great enthusiasm. It is part of a larger initiative to train and empower students to demand rights for people with disabilities and raise awareness about inclusive society!

Keep an eye out for updates here and contact saba@nowpdp.org if your school would like to take part in the next cycle.
