The work that will happen at the 2010 Global Congress started over a year ago. From input sessions and surveys to working groups and a strategy summit, dialogue and debate have been getting to a point where the Special Olympics movement can unite to review and further discuss the 2011-2015 Strategic Plan.
Now is the time in which we need to harness the outstanding efforts that have been the catalyst to our current success, as well as galvanize our leaders – our Founders, current and future – and together create our roadmap into the next decade.
Over the course of four days, Congress delegates will learn about the new Special Olympics Strategic Plan and envision how to implement the plan in their home countries, cities and villages. Participants will hear from powerful and radical well-known speakers, learn from the athletes, share and network with their peers, and will leave Morocco with a clear vision and map that will lead us all into the future.
A fire starts with a spark, and fire often leads to explosion. We expect that the Global Congress will ignite your inner passion to take the movement forward into a new decade. Each and every participant will be charged with taking that fire or flame back to their home country to create a cultural explosion so strong that it will transform your Special Olympics Program and the lives of people with intellectual disabilities for the better.
