The Special Olympics World Winter Games represent a remarkable celebration of inclusivity in sports, highlighting the achievements of individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Since 2001, Global Youth Leadership Summits (GYLS) have driven a global legacy in creating inclusive communities and schools through the power of youth engagement. These global convenings of youth with and without ID always take place in conjunction with the World Games. Through the GYLS, youth tap into the energy, power and global diversity generated from being at the World Games to represent the youth voice in Special Olympics’ movement for inclusion, engage in cross-cultural exchange, and receive leadership training.

We are proud of Ms. Sandra Kaseke, and wish her all the best as she represents the Sililo Foundation, Special Olympics Zambia, and the Lions Clubs International, in Turin, Italy.
