Tim Shriver, CEO of Special Olympics International joins conversation starters Loretta Claiborne, Matthew Williams from Special Olympics International, Nureddin Amro from the Siraj al-Quds School and Shantha Rau Barriga from the Disability Rights Program, at Human Rights Watch to discuss fostering a sense of belonging and reciprocity.

Social isolation significantly impacts individual and community health, well-being, livelihoods, and resilience, and yet few programmes and policies currently address this issue directly.

We thank the Samuel Family Foundation, the Synergos Institute and TakingITGlobal for organizing the first symposium on Overcoming Isolation and Deepening Social Connectedness in October 2014.

We encourage you to visit their web site for more information website at www.socialconnectedness.org.
