Global IT Challenge 2024 | Philippines
The National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) is honored to announce that the Philippines will host the Global IT Challenge 2024 for Youth with Disabilities, a distinguished international event set to take place from November 3 to 8 at The Manila Hotel.
With 154 participants from 16 countries—representing diverse disabilities, including visual, physical, hearing, and developmental—the competition empowers youth with disabilities by enhancing their IT skills and laying the groundwork for educational and employment opportunities.
This year’s event champions Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), as well as United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) Article 21 (Freedom of Expression and Opinion, and Access to Information), providing a vital platform for cross-cultural exchange and collaboration.
In partnership with Rehabilitation International Korea, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, Rehabilitation International (RI Global), and Philippine government agencies including the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Tourism, Department of Science and Technology, and Department of Information and Communications Technology, and PLDT Smart.
The Philippines and whole NCDA is proud to foster a more inclusive, tech-empowered future.
