Inclusive Communities Engage - Enable - Enrich
For families new to JESS, Connections is our monthly blog, brought to you from the Oasis teams from across Jumeirah and Arabian Ranches. We have two key intentions;
•
to invite you to find out more about the enrichment and support work that our departments provide across school. •
to share our knowledge, experience and support strategy suggestions.
In October 2015 H.E. Khaled Al Kamda, Director General of the Community Development Authority and Member of the Higher Committee for the Protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, spoke about the importance of equal opportunities when he launched Dubai's inclusion initiative; "My Community... A City for Everyone". As part of the vision for 2021, the initiative aims to provide equal opportunities to everyone in the community, including persons determination (those with special educational needs and/or disabilities). The initiative intends to strengthen social solidarity, cooperation and inclusive unity to best serve the community, thus eliminating all forms of discrimination or abuse, and eventually turning Dubai into a disability-friendly city that ensures proper nurturing, justice and equal opportunities.
