Unity Day!
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2022
Wear and Share Orange to show unity for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion and to send a visible message that no child should ever experience bullying.
Uniting Through Action
On the third Wednesday of October, plan to wear and share the color orange—as a tangible representation of the supportive, universal message that our society wants to prevent bullying, and is united for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
The Supporting Inclusive Practices (SIP) Project is hosting its annual conference.
Our Vision:
Intentionally designed, equitable and inclusive educational systems for all students.
Innovate. Include. Impact.
Featuring International Public Speakers:
Chaeli Mycroft and her Mother, Zelda Mycroft, along side Artist, Clara Woods
This virtual event is designed to challenge your thinking and empower you as a disability ally.
Chaeli Mycroft and her mother, Zelda, will facilitate conversations with other individuals with disabilities and their families as they reflect on their experiences.
You will learn about the complexity of disability and have an opportunity to engage in conversations about how we can amplify disabled voices and move forward as disability allies.
They hope you will join them in this work!
