Information campaign Inclusive Belarus 2016

A large-scale information campaign Inclusive Belarus kicked off in the country on 24 October, on the United Nations Day. The campaign was a continuation of the unparalleled initiative UN70 Belarus.

A year ago the special train with dozens of experts and participants on board traveled across Belarus to celebrate the anniversary of the largest international organization, the Sustainable Development Goals that need to be achieved by 2030 and, of course, the active position of Belarus, a country which stood at the origins of the United Nations.

In 2016 the central theme of the new project called Inclusive Belarus Leaving No One Behind in Reaching Sustainable Development was Goal No.10 Reducing Inequalities, and the support for socially vulnerable segments of the population: children and women, the disabled, people living with HIV, migrants.

The program of the Inclusive Belarus 2016 campaign included many events such as conferences, seminars, festivals, film screenings, and exhibitions in the largest cities of the country. The campaign concluded on the International Human Rights Day on 10 December with a concert in the Palace of the Republic in Minsk that gathered well-known Belarusian artists, UN Goodwill Ambassadors and, of course, the project participants from different regions of Belarus.
