Get ready to celebrate.

International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) 2024 is just around the corner.

This annual event is observed by the United Nations and aims to promote understanding and respect for people with disability.

In Australia, governments, schools and various organisations unite to celebrate the day – including us at Endeavour Foundation.

Here are some key details about IDPwD.

What Is the Theme of International Day of People with Disability 2024?

This year’s theme is Amplifying the Leadership of Persons with Disabilities for an Inclusive and Sustainable Future.

While that is a mouthful, the theme has plenty of meaning behind it.

It is a powerful call to action to uplift voices, inspire change and create a brighter, more inclusive place for all.

It speaks to a world where the insights and experiences of people with disability are at the forefront of our conversations.

Historically, many people with disability have been left out of the decision-making processes that shape our communities and policies.

This year, it is time to flip the script and listen, learn and celebrate the leadership of those who know firsthand what needs to be done.

By elevating these voices, we can uncover a wealth of innovative ideas and solutions.

People with disability have unique perspectives that can lead us to more inclusive environments – places where everyone can thrive, no matter their background or ability.

Celebrating Leadership in All Its Forms

Leadership comes in many shapes and sizes, and it is not just about titles.

It can be found in advocacy, entrepreneurship or simply standing up for what is right.

When people with disabilities take the lead, they bring fresh ideas and inspire positive change.

Their stories challenge stereotypes and broaden our understanding of what it means to be truly inclusive.

Imagine a community where leaders with disabilities are steering initiatives, breaking down barriers and paving the way for a better tomorrow.
