We watched a clip about a girl named Chloe who told us about the condition Downs Syndrome & what it means. Then we decorated our own colourful & mismatched socks to celebrate people with Down's Syndrome. We discussed inclusion, respect, support & having equal opportunities for all 🧦 #LotsOfSocks
💚💙 It's #DownsSyndromeAwarenessWeek. Wear odd socks and take some time to find out more about neurodiversity.

A man wearing a neon yellow safety vest leans over a table, examining a blueprint or plan. The background is an industrial setting with a concrete wall and some equipment visible. Inside a blue square to the right, large white text reads "World Down Syndrome Day," and "March 21" below it. The body text reads "Every person with Down syndrome brings gifts, perspectives, and strengths that enrich our communities when inclusion is prioritized." The TransCen logo appears at the top.
The 21st of March (3/21) marks World Down Syndrome Day, a global day of awareness and action recognizing the 3 copies of chromosome 21 that are unique to people who have Down syndrome.

Sharepic zum Welt Downsyndrom Tag mit pastelligem Hintergrund, drumherum am Rand bunte Flecken und Socken. Text: "21.3.-Trag bunte Socken. Auch wenn du niemanden mit Down-Syndrom kennst. Menschen mit Down-Syndrom gehören zu unserer Gesellschaft. In Kitas. In Schulen. Im Alltag. Und trotzdem werden viele noch immer übersehen. Am 21. März tragen Menschen auf der ganzen Welt zwei unterschiedliche, bunte Socken. Ein kleines Zeichen. Für Vielfalt. Für Respekt. Für Sichtbarkeit. Zieh zwei verschiedene Socken an. Mach ein Foto. Zeig, dass Anderssein dazugehört

Für alle, die (genau wie ich bis vorhin) nicht wussten, warum das Ganze #LotsofSocks heißt - man trägt deshalb bunte Socken, weil Chromosomen unter dem Mikroskop ein bisschen aussehen wie kleine, geringelte Socken! Bei Menschen mit #Down-Syndrom ist das 21. Chromosom dreifach vorhanden -> 21.03.
World Down Syndrome Day 2026 announcement; UNMC MMI logo and branding; World Down Syndrome Day logo; illustration of a red sock with a strawberry print; web address as listed in post; text: World Down Syndrome Day 2026, "Together Against Loneliness," Loneliness is not a choice. Loneliness happens when people are supported to build and maintain connections with other people.
💙The answer to overcoming loneliness? Being included! Having good friendships and relationships, feeling that you are valued, and knowing that you belong make all the difference!💛
