Unified Champion Schools promotes social inclusion by bringing together young people with and without intellectual disabilities on sports teams (Unified Sports), through inclusive student clubs and youth leadership (Inclusive Youth Leadership), and in school or community-wide initiatives (Whole School Engagement).
