International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2021: Bitter-sweet celebration for athletes of Special Olympics
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of athletes with intellectual disabilities have lost access to the vital Special Olympics sport and health services that they relied on. Today, as we celebrate the United Nations annual International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Special Olympics Europe Eurasia is fighting back on behalf of our athletes with Faces of Basketball, a unique online-offline activity hub and campaign designed to reach and engage our athletes across Europe.
