Good Practices of Diffusion

We want to highlight local initiatives that are being developed for the promotion and dissemination of the 10 principles. Contact us if in your country you want to carry out a Project in relation to this Campaign (maria.cisternasreyes@un.org)

1. The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) has been key to the dissemination of the Campaign in the Asia Pacific Region. They presented the 10 Principles at the Fifth meeting of the Working Group on the decade of persons with disabilities in Asia and the Pacific of ESCAP, so several governments indicated their plan to promote the campaign, committing some to translate the campaign material to their national languages. In addition, three civil society organizations have pledged to disseminate campaign materials (including video, booklet and poster) to their networks and a nonprofit organization focused on accessibility to information will develop an accessible version of E -pub of campaign materials.

2. The Center for Studies and Community Service CEAC, together with the Program of Inclusion and Disability of the Directorate of Linking with the Environment of the Catholic University Silva Henríquez, in Chile, have committed to this Campaign by participating as Ambassadors of the principles and objectives that this initiative promotes. In this context, a project to promote and disseminate the rights of girls, boys and adolescents with disabilities has been implemented in different areas of the community with which the University has built a collaborative link. It was adapted from the design made by Illustrator Michelle Koryzma Reid, a collaborator of the Office of the Special Envoy, a version to color the 10 Principles promoted by the Campaign, creating a concrete material for the learning of children.

3. The Mission “Las Manuelas” belonging to the Technical Secretariat "Plan Toda una Vida", a public entity attached to the Presidency of the Republic of Ecuador, is aimed at guaranteeing integrated care for persons with disabilities in situations of poverty and extreme poverty, and their family nucleus, to promote their autonomy and their full social inclusion, as a public policy. The Technical Secretariat "Plan Toda una vida", will launch the Edu-communication campaign "Las Manuelas, The Mission Continues for Inclusion", whose objective is to raise awareness of the educational community on rights of persons with disabilities and provide complementary tools related to the social model of disability, through recreational and sensory activities. In this National Campaign the material of the 10 Principles will be included.

4. The Rahma Medical Center (Lebanon), promoting community participation and awareness of child protection, main pillars of its projects with UNICEF and LHF | OCHA that aim to provide integrated education, rehabilitation and protection services for children with disabilities, has created adhesive labels with the 10 principles of the Decalogue to share with more than 3,500 students from 15 different public schools. It is a set of 10 labels coinciding with the 10 Principles for note books, where students can write their name and the determined subject.
