Presidential distinction
Asociația Down Plus București had the great honour of receiving the Order “Merit for the Promotion of Human Rights and Social Commitment” in the rank of “Knight” from the President of Romania.
TEDx
Our journey has given us remarkable experience in the social inclusion of young people with Down syndrome. What sets us apart is the creativity behind every project.
This allowed us to tell our story in a TEDx talk about the courage of young people with Down syndrome to try anything. With the right support, the results can be exceptional.
Conference
Larisa Bucur represented the association at the conference with a talk on neurodiversity and the association's achievements.
At the following edition we were represented by both Larisa and Georgeta Bucur in the panel “When neurodiversity finds its place in the family”.
Media
Our experience made us want to show society how much young people with Down syndrome can achieve: the barriers they may face and, above all, the results they can reach. That is how we came to have a dedicated section where we regularly publish expert articles.
