We gave 55 young people with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to share their thoughts, challenges and ambitions on a global stage

SPECIAL OLYMPICS WORLD GAMES 2019

We supported PEOPLE (a world-renowned Creative Agency specialising in global events that change lives) in developing the Opening & Closing Ceremonies of Special Olympics World Games. As the largest humanitarian event in 2019 it was broadcast to millions of people all over the world. 

​

We spent 8 months engaging communities across the UAE, running workshops; filming inspirational stories; and organising outreach events that allowed People of Determination to develop the core creative elements of the show. 

​

It was an opportunity for them to tell the world their story, while showcasing their talents on a global stage.

​

“Tomorrow, I will have the same condition I have today, but after the Special Olympics I will handle it differently. I hope other people will now realise I can contribute to society. This experience gives me more hope for the future and has supported me in being the best that I can be”.

Rebecca, Special Olympics Medalist & Ceremony Creator
