Discover Together The October Exchange Experience

Welcome to The October Experience Exchange: #DiscoverTogether

Discover Together Max Swimming

Join us this October.

For an exciting opportunity to connect, learn, and inspire!

The October Experience Exchange is a unique initiative designed to bring together young people with Down Syndrome, known as Inspiration Explorers, and compassionate community members eager to share their passions, skills, and hobbies as Inspiration Guides.

Throughout Down Syndrome Awareness Month

We invite you to:

  • Explore New Interests: Young people will have the chance to discover new hobbies and skills through hands-on experiences tailored to their interests.
  • Share Your Passion: If you have a talent, hobby, or skill, consider becoming an Inspiration Guide and inspire a young person while fostering a deeper understanding of Down Syndrome within the community.
  • Create Meaningful Connections: Together, we will build a supportive community that celebrates the talents and potential of individuals with Down Syndrome.

Whether you’re an Inspiration Explorer looking for your next adventure or an Inspiration Guide ready to share your passion, this campaign is all about discovering together. Join us in making this October a month of connection, learning, and inspiration!

Get involved today!

Click below to learn more about how you can participate as a young person with a parent, carer, or community member. Together, let’s make a difference and create unforgettable experiences!
