Spread The Word: Inclusive Action
Monday Mar 17, 2025
Monday Mar 17, 2025
On this rebroadcast episode of the Special Chronicles Podcast: Daniel Smrokowski sits down with Dr. Jackie Jodl, Chief Global Youth and Education Officer at Special Olympics.
This Week, our focus of Spread The Word is on Inclusive Action. Join us for an education conversation about Inclusive Mindsets, Unified Champion Schools Create Universal Dignity and Empathy, Leaders of Courageous Action, and how Special Olympics programs are leading the way in inclusive education!
We think the world would be better if everyone were included. Around the world, exclusion and discrimination continue to divide people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are changing that with grassroots action for inclusion. That's Spread the Word. This year, you can engage and activate in multiple ways by choosing your focus: derogatory language, bullying or inclusive action. Visit SpreadTheWord.Global to access resources, sign the pledge, and grab your official gear. Together, let's create a more inclusive world!
