So great to meet directors Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maurey (Livid, The Deep House, Inside, and new film The Soul Eater) at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival #biff .

Just 2 days away!

CAPCA = Creative Approaches to Practical Community Advocacy.
Because communities need people with Down syndrome to help lead.
Fionn does it. You can, too.

Congratulations Adam Harris. AsIAm launched on Fionn's 18th birthday. And within a year, Fionn & Adam shared the keynote spot at the #INTO Special Ed Conference.
We are proud to continue to work alongside you. Looking forward.

Happy 28th birthday to the man who was once this boy. We're so proud of all you've accomplished, for yourself and for others.
Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next. You're incredible.

Here's a brilliant list of 'Irish People with Down Syndrome and the Companies that Support Them'

How rewarding it has been to work with Minister Maria Caulfield MP on assuring that the #DownSyndromeAct reflects the real needs of people with Down Syndrome.
The National Down Syndrome Policy Group and its Advisory Group (that I chair) look forward to continuing our work with government, for all.

Discover the history of #WorldDownSyndromeDay2024 , the right to political participation for #DisabledPeople , and inspiring stories of disabled activists.

What did you do for #WorldDownSyndromeDay ?

For this shoot, the gov't photographers had Fionn sit in the Prime Minister's chair in the Cabinet Room, the very one used by all UK PMs. Rarely does anyone who's not a PM perch in it.
He looks pretty comfortable there.

After yesterday's announcement by Leo Varadkar,
Taoiseach (Prime Minster) of Ireland, that he will be resigning, we wanted to share this interview Fionn conducted with him last year.

My first meeting with Oscar winner Cillian Murphy.
I'm up for future collaborations if you are, Cillian.

Congratulations to Cillian Murphy for your #Oscars2024 win for Best Actor. You told Fionn ten years ago that the main thing you love in life is acting. Maybe it was your simple and direct answer that explains the 3.7 million views this video has gotten.

Today,
we have the answers to all your questions about our amazing new course for adults with Down syndrome. And you can apply to join the course (for free!) as of now.

We'll share a link early next week. But don't wait: share your email and we'll send you a PDF this weekend.

Bear with us for just 3 more days.
All will be revealed this Friday.

Working with #ichooseboard friends and the Department of Health and Social Care to make sure thoughts & experiences of people with Down syndrome are reflected in #DownSyndromeAct policy

Fionn, of the National Down Syndrome Policy Group, is the only facilitator/research partner with DS.
Today, London.

Do Fionn's sterling presentation skills come from two elves that appear whenever he's speaking to help him get things right?
Not really
It's from giving 200+ speaches/workshops over 10 yrs. Invite us to work with your community, you'll see.
And maybe you'll see the elves...
