National Action Days for Disability Rights

From May 15 to June 15, 2024, events will take place throughout Switzerland that contribute to the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This convention came into force in Switzerland 10 years ago, and Special Olympics is committed to implementing it in the field of sports. Through various projects during these action days, awareness will be raised about the rights of people with disabilities – with the shared goal of shaping an inclusive future. Projects in cooperation with Special Olympics are planned in some cantons:
