Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities—a day to celebrate the achievements, strength, and resilience of the disability community. This design honours the incredible Halberg family—the advisors, athletes, and Youth Council—who are dedicated to creating moments of joy and empowering people with disabilities through inclusive opportunities in sport and recreation. Let’s take this day to celebrate our identities, raise awareness, and continue to create meaningful change. #IDPD #DisabilityAwareness #Halberg #MomentsOfJoy Also, head over to Halberg's Instagram and check out Youth Councillor Dylan's epic design and process around capturing International Day of Persons with Disabilities!!

Today we had an inclusion training session with the wonderful Max from Halberg. A fun, inclusive and at times confronting session learning and expanding our skills to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be active and feel included. Personally, I have been doing the best I could with the knowledge and skills I had. Following today I have further built these skills and deepended my understanding so now I can do better to support the community. I love being on a journey of continual learning and growth. Thank you so much Halberg for all your wonderful mahi.

Anya's process involved thoughtful conceptual thinking to craft a space that feels fresh and meaningful.
