Together we create…
A new initiative at the IRODA Centre over the last few months has been an inclusive art club. It has only been in recent times that awareness and acceptance of people with disabilities has started to increase. Through the hard work of organisations like IRODA communities in Tajikistan are gaining a better understanding of what life is like for children and young people with autism. There is still a great need however for places and groups that include and involve all children. In response to this need IRODA has started an art club and invited children from the mainstream school to come and enjoy creating art alongside their peers who have autism.
Societal attitudes take time to change but for IRODA it is so pleasing to see this new generation of children in Tajikistan working alongside each other to create beautiful things. When, from a young age, children have the chance to spend time with others who may learn or behave differently to themselves that are more able to understand, accept and support one another.
Thank you for your support of IRODA’s work and being part of enabling children and young people to come together and create – not only art but also a more inclusive society.
