One for the weekend!

Today we're sharing a favourite video from Coordown: The Hiring Chain.

https://youtu.be/SKku4RAWa4M

Performed by Sting, it was released in 2021 to commemorate World Down Syndrome Day. The video is described as follows:

"By hiring someone with Down syndrome, you start a virtuous chain: the more that people with Down Syndrome are seen at work, the more they’ll be recognised as valuable employees, and the more they’ll be hired. Do your part, start the Hiring Chain today."

At Imagine More, we believe that the more people with disability are seen at work, the more they'll be recognised as valuable employees, and the more often they'll be hired.

We hope you enjoy the message in this video as much as we do! Have a wonderful weekend!

🎯 Getting ready for work: A hands-on workshop for families

Transitioning from school to work is a significant milestone for young people with disability, and families play a vital role in making it happen.

Join us on Thursday, 27 November from 9:30 am–2:30 pm at Hawker College for a hands-on workshop designed for families of students with disability in years 10–12.

During the workshop, you'll:
✨ begin creating a clear vision for your young person's future
✨ explore Customised Employment approaches
✨ discover practical ways to observe and record skills and passions
✨ explore workplace possibilities close to home
✨ hear real family stories about getting started.

This workshop is completely FREE thanks to funding from the Department of Social Services. Lunch and refreshments provided!

Led by Jan Kruger and Fiona McIntosh, you'll walk away with ideas and tools to use straight away.

πŸ“’ One week to go πŸ“’

Next Wednesday evening, siblings from across Australia will gather online for an honest conversation about what it means to navigate life, family, and the future when you have a sibling with disability.

Whether you're closely involved in your sibling's life or wondering from a distance what your role could be, this workshop is designed for you. It's a chance to hear from other siblings, ask the questions that have been on your mind, and explore what being a supportive sibling can look like – without becoming a parent or carer.

Rhiannon Brodie and Heidi Coleman will share their experiences, and there'll be plenty of time for the real conversations that matter.

It's free, it's online via Zoom, and it's happening next Wednesday, 12 November, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm AEDT.

Register now: https://imaginemore.org.au/events/siblings-2025/

Please share this with all the siblings you know and encourage them to register for this unique workshop!
