On December 3 each year, people around the world celebrate the achievements of people with a disability. People with a disability, and their friends, families and carers celebrate their abilities with the wider community.

This year, this day coincides with the Friday of the Pathways 10 conference. We hope that participants and others will attend a celebration luncheon on the Friday of the conference. The purpose of this event will be consistent with the aim of the International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPwD) to bring together people with disability and the general community and to:

  • showcase the skills, abilities, contributions and achievements of people with disability
  • promote a positive image of people with disability
  • involve people with disability and the broader community in activities to celebrate and raise awareness of IDPwD.
