These tools allow to look beyond the <strong>prejudices related to disabilities<\/strong> to build a <strong>more inclusive society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>A review of 4 solutions to help organising disability awareness activities in high school<\/h2>\n<h3>Films and books to fight against disability discrimination<\/h3>\n<p>The film \u201cMoi, L\u00e9a\u201d which was directed by In\u00e8s Bigonnet is all about difference, tolerance, and self-surpassing. It tells the story of a teenager who has Asperger syndrome and who gets rejected by others because of that.<\/p>\n<p>The movie \u201cIntouchable\u201d directed by Olivier Nakache and \u00c9ric Toledano is unmissable to <strong>raise awareness of disabilities among high schoolers<\/strong>. This 2011 movie has not aged at all! It shows how to fight against the stereotypes associated to disabilities. It underlines the potential difficulties which people with reduced mobility face every day. It is important to repeat that 80% of disabled people suffer from a non-visible disability.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding literature, the book \u201c<em>Ne dites pas \u00e0 ma m\u00e8re que je suis handicap\u00e9e, elle me croit trap\u00e9ziste dans un cirque<\/em>&nbsp;\u00bb is an autobiography by Charlotte Vilmorin. The author shares her personal experience as a young woman suffering from a rare condition. It is a great essay which combines humour and reflexion about differences.<\/p>\n<h3>Key moment: International Day for Persons with Disabilities<\/h3>\n<p>The 3<sup>rd<\/sup> of December is a unique occasion to highlight local actions. During the<strong> International Day for Persons with Disabilities<\/strong>, it is a great occasion to get an account from someone suffering from a disability.<\/p>\n<p>You can also suggest high schoolers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An initiation activity to Braille or sign language;<\/li>\n<li>A conference on the theme of disabilities;<\/li>\n<li>An artistic project;<\/li>\n<li>Etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find more information on how to organise an awareness activity at school on the <a href=\"https:\/\/eduscol.education.fr\/3382\/la-journee-internationale-des-personnes-en-situation-de-handicap#:~:text=%C3%80%20l'occasion%20de%20la,%C3%A9coles%20et%20les%20%C3%A9tablissements%20scolaires.\">Eduscol<\/a> website.<\/p>\n<h2>Sport practice: an unmissable conveyor of disability awareness activities in high school<\/h2>\n<h3>Participate to the paralympic week<\/h3>\n<p>Paris will welcome the 2024 paralympic games. It is an exceptional opportunity to raise awareness of disabilities among high schoolers!<\/p>\n<p>On that note, the Olympic and Paralympic game week is organised once again in 2024 for the 8<sup>th<\/sup> edition. You could participate to the <a href=\"https:\/\/generation2024.franceolympique.com\/\">SOP challenges<\/a> (Olympic and Paralympic games week) from the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> to the 6<sup>th<\/sup> of April with the handball player Typhaine Sold\u00e9 and the well-known French athlete Kevin Mayer. The program is densly-packed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Discovery of a paralympic sport<\/li>\n<li>Interview with an athlete<\/li>\n<li>Creation of a dance for the games<\/li>\n<li>Etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do not miss out on these challenges!<\/p>\n<h3>Talk about disabilities through sport activity<\/h3>\n<p>Sport is an excellent asset to <strong>raise awareness of disability in a high school<\/strong>. It favours dynamic exchanges between high schoolers and it contributes to dismantle the prejudices on disabilities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playmoovin.com\/en\/\">PlayMoovin\u2019<\/a> conceived a sport wheelchair, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playmoovin.com\/en\/?post_type=product&amp;p=3251\">FreeMoovin\u2019<\/a>. It allows to put able-bodied high schoolers in the situation of someone suffering from a disability in the span of a game of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playmoovin.com\/en\/wheelchair-handball-explained-from-a-to-z\/\">Wheelchair handball<\/a>;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playmoovin.com\/en\/everything-to-know-about-wheelchair-rugby\/\">Wheelchair rugby<\/a>;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playmoovin.com\/en\/wheelchair-basketball-from-a-to-z-discovery\/\">Wheelchair basketball<\/a>;<\/li>\n<li>Etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This awareness wheelchair is made of plastic which resists collisions. Regarding safety, it is equipped with all the essential protections. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playmoovin.com\/documentation\/\">certified by the CERAH<\/a> (study and research centre for the equipment of disabled people).<\/p>\n<h2>Why raising awareness of disabilities among high schoolers?<\/h2>\n<p>The act which was promulgated on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> of February 2005 allowed for a major step forward in the acknowledgment of the rights of people suffering from a disability. It strengthens the value of inclusion by encouraging the access to a normal scholarship to students suffering from a disability.<\/p>\n<p>In this framework, <strong>raising awareness of disabilities in schools<\/strong> is a priority. It is about more than just giving information on French law; it is about helping them understand the importance of an inclusive education for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Getting rid of the prejudices is essential to favour inclusion and respect of the rights of people suffering from disabilities within our society.<\/p>\n<p>It is with those things in mind that a <strong>disability awareness animation<\/strong> finds meaning. It helps students to look beyond the negative stereotypes and to understand the difficulties that people suffering from disabilities face. They develop their empathy and respect towards others.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to organise a disability awareness activity in a high school? You can discover here our sport wheelchairs.
