About Citizenship
Citizenship is about experiencing human rights, responsibilities, and opportunities.
For many people, including people who have an intellectual disability, it also means belonging.
Belonging in;
-
daycares, schools, colleges and universities
-
places of work, culture, and recreation
-
worship and spiritual fellowship
-
politics and government
-
economic exchange
-
family, relationships, intimate partnerships, neighbourhoods
Supporting people who have an intellectual disability to belong makes good economic sense.
It also helps creates communities that are vibrant, strong and diverse.
