Can You See Me Now?
Today, we invite you to truly see.
To see beyond labels, beyond hurried glances, beyond the idea of “normal” that society often takes for granted.
Can You See Me Now? is more than a video. It is the voice of young people filled with light, dreams, and strength. It is their manifesto for a rightful place in the world, alongside all of us.
People with Down syndrome do not need to be tolerated; they need to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Watch with an open heart. Support inclusion. Choose to see.
A production by Down Plus Bucharest Association in partnership with Alex Ciobotaru and Andrew CBI.

DOWN PLUS BUCHAREST ASSOCIATION × FASHION DAYS
A social awareness campaign created in partnership with Fashion Days, designed to spread a simple but powerful message: #StopPrejudice.
The campaign perfectly reflects the values we promote every day: the countless abilities, talents, and potential of young people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities.
Together, we challenged stereotypes and encouraged society to focus on possibilities rather than limitations.

GLOW
Their beauty is different from yours.
It is vibrant. Colourful. Shaped by emotion and by the unique way they experience the world.
It exists in your eyes, yet it goes beyond what the eye can see.
Their beauty is unique. Atypical. Extraordinary.
It comes from emotion. From love. From authenticity. From seeing the world differently.
And we are here to share it with you.
They are ready to glow.
GLOW
Beauty lies in the emotions of the beholder.
A special project by Raul Jichici and Down Plus Bucharest Association.
