History of World Inclusion Day
Although its origins are difficult to trace, World Inclusion Day is celebrated yearly. One of the organizations that have participated in the celebration is ‘The Garden Foundation.’ The Garden Foundation is a non-profit organization that serves people with impairments in Las Vegas. Their mission is to help and improve the lives of people with disabilities by offering a safe haven for education, inspiration, independence, and inclusion! The Garden Foundation does not have a one-size-fits-all approach. They believe in and practice person-centered planning, and as a result, they give a tailored experience to each client and their family’s specific needs. Every individual they serve has their own unique set of interests, talents, needs, and aspirations, and they should be able to choose what they do.As the globe grows increasingly linked and globalized, it’s crucial to remember that a “global monoculture,” or cultural uniformity, suffocates native cultures and individual characteristics. Avoiding a global monoculture requires embracing cultural variety in all facets of life. Cultural diversity refers to different civilizations recognizing one another’s uniqueness. Exclusion and prejudice continue to divide individuals with and without intellectual and developmental impairments all across the world. People are changing that today via grassroots action for inclusiveness.We have observed the negative consequences of isolation and exclusion throughout the epidemic. People are becoming increasingly conscious of the importance of social connection to overall well-being. Despite its enigmatic roots, World Inclusion Day provides an excellent chance to learn about other cultures and appreciate the diversity that makes the globe such a lovely place.
