Description of the Project:
BACKGROUND. Coordown is the Italian organization that champions the rights of people with Down syndrome. On the 9th of February 2014, the organization received an email from a future mom: "I'm expecting a baby with Down syndrome. I'm scared: what kind of life will my child have?" IDEA. On World Down Syndrome Day, Coordown replied with a Youtube video. In the video, young adults with Down syndrome respond to the mom's fears explaining all the ways her child will enjoy a full and fulfilling life. RESULTS. The campaign attracted extensive global media coverage and, on the week of World Down Syndrome Day, it was the world's most shared campaign (#1 on Viral Video Chart).
