For World Down Syndrome Day this year, we’re focusing on the importance of connection, belonging and purpose in people’s lives.

Feeling connected to other people helps us feel included and part of our community.

People with Down syndrome belong everywhere – at home, at school, at work and in their community.

In this video, people from our community share what connection and belonging mean to them.

What helps you feel connected? Share your thoughts in the comments.
