10th World Down Syndrome Congress
August 19th – 22nd 2009
Dublin, Ireland

The theme for the Congress is "Lifelong Living and Learning". Down Syndrome Ireland are planning a dynamic and exciting programme that will cater for all professionals including health, educational, and research practitioners. There will be a parallel participative programme for parents, siblings, children and adults with Down syndrome.

To celebrate the 10th WDSC we will hold the first Synod of people with Down syndrome. This will be a unique ground breaking event where the agenda and programme will be developed by and for people with Down syndrome. It is vital that their wishes and desires are voiced and heard in this open forum, that they themselves are to the fore, and that they take pride of place.
