Orange Jordan organized an awareness session at the Innovation Hub under its umbrella “Differently Abled, Definitely Enabled” for empowering persons with disabilities. Commemorating the International Day of Education, the event focused on fostering an environment of inclusive education and digital culture for persons with disabilities in Jordan.

In light of the emerging challenges faced by youth with disabilities, the session highlighted the importance of inclusivity in education.

The event comes in line with the International Day of Education which dedicated this year to “the power of youth as co-creators of education.”

Orange Jordan confirmed that the event reaffirms its commitment to supporting education, promoting digital empowerment, and consolidating the principles of inclusion by leveraging technology. In line with its efforts to create positive impact on society, Orange Jordan is determined to abide by its vision to offer digital services that are available to everyone, embodying its “Orange is here” slogan.
