What is sponsorship?
Sponsoring a person with Down syndrome or the parent of a child with Down syndrome materializes differently depending on the meaning you give to this sponsorship:
A minimum
- You connect with someone awaiting sponsorship via the platform and you tell them that you are sponsoring them for the next World Down syndrome day
For information: the communication on sponsoring MEPs is scheduled from January 2021. You will be informed of the precise launch date of this communication before D-Day.
- You will be invited to participate in the conferences that will be held in the days leading up to the 21st of March 2021.
- In the days leading up to the 21st of March 2021 you are participating in the so-called "mismatched socks" campaign that marks World Down syndrome Day. Here you have more information about this campaign
- You publish on your social media: your sponsorship and your participation in the "mismatched socks" campaign.
Don't forget to let us know by email
If you want to make more of your sponsorship
- You could meet the person that you are sponsoring to get to know each other and take a picture. This meeting can be done in reality or via Skype (Zoom etc.).
You could publish those photos on social media according to a calendar that we will transmit to you.
- If the health situation allows it: you could invite the person you are sponsoring to visit the European Parliament in the days leading up to the 21st of March 2021
