For many years, Variety has been at the forefront of providing children with special needs with assistance and care.

We’ve seen the paradigms of care changing, from perceiving the child passively as the object of society’s treatment to recognizing their individuality and right to be an equal and active part of it.

But is this really it? Have we not only treated children with special needs and cared for them, but also had them included as equals within the larger society?

WHERE WE ARE COMING FROM

WHERE WE WISH TO HEAD NEXT

It is our understanding that genuine social inclusion of individuals with special needs has yet to occur. We’ve come a long way in formal legislations and institutional arrangements, but full inclusion in practice has not been achieved.

In most cases, the child is still considered the object of treatment or interference, while society as a whole remains unchanged. With the individual’s own influence over society unaccounted for, inclusion and acceptance are in fact hindered.

We now wish to promote inclusive education in practice. We wish not only to treat kids with special needs individually, but also to empower them to assert their agency as an equal part of the larger society – and thus change society as a whole for the better.

WE WANT YOU WITH US

With our broad, nationwide network of educational, technological and organizational centers, we have already seen actual results.

Horse riding, tennis and basketball, music and art, digital learning, swimming and active school breaks – these are just some of the activities through which we are already bringing together kids from both special and mainstream education to learn, play and get to know each other.

Join us in a collaborative effort to promote social change in practice. Let’s work towards a world of genuine inclusion and acceptance – together.
