About the site
Be inspired and motivated as you learn about the stories of athletes with disabilities through Special Olympics. Athletes will visit ISM and share with the students how they became successful in sports despite the challenges. With SDG 10, Reduced Inequalities, in mind, students will plan and initiate games with the athletes and ultimately learn to end discrimination and help empower people with disabilities.
