Save the Children, with funding from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been implementing a project to promote inclusive education throughout primary and lower secondary schools in Mongolia since 2021. To improve the knowledge and understanding of parents, community, and school staff about inclusive education and to promote an inclusive culture, Save the Children organized the social media-based awareness campaign "Together" in February 2022.

The campaign distributed 5 success stories of project beneficiaries, 3 graphic posters, and 4 video stories, and cover images online to target audiences. A total of 2.9 million people (repeat counts) engaged with these various pieces of content promoting inclusive education. As a result of this month-long campaign, target audiences' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to inclusive education improved, as indicated by the campaign's Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) survey.

Results and achievements of the campaign 

• The percentage of parents of children with special needs who have a good knowledge of people with special needs has increased by 13%.
• 95% of parents of children with special needs surveyed agreed that equal participation of children with special needs in education would increase their participation in society
