Today, 3 December, we observe International Day of Disabled Persons which was proclaimed in 1992, by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3.
We at Nimble Minds Chess are delighted to observe this day because we teach chess in an inclusive way that is compatible with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 10. The wording of Goals 4 and 10 are as follows: Goal 4 - Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, and Goal 10 - Reduce inequality within and among countries. The theme this year is "Building Back Better: toward a disability-inclusive, accessible and sustainable post COVID-19 World". See our post on the chess programme at The Bahamas Red Cross Centre for the Deaf - Nimble Minds Chess Programme for students with disabilities. The link below is for visually impaired visitors and will take you to the Nimble Minds Chess Programme for student with disabilities that was mentioned earlier in this article: https://nimblemindschess.org/f/special-education-and-chess
