THE UNIQUE & ABLE  PROJECT 

We envision a world in which people with disabilities and atypical people are seen and accepted and whose contributions to society are valued and included. As change makers, we believe people who are uniquely-abled deserve a wider voice in society and the media. By telling their stories, we hope to promote a more inclusive society.

Simone Barlaam: World Champion Swimmer Headed for the Paralympic 2021

The Unique & Able Project spoke to Simone Barlaam this year during the pandemic over Zoom to find out more about this super-talented young man. Simone Barlaam is a seven-time World Para champion swimmer who holds record breaking time for the 50- and 100-meter freestyle and 100m backstroke in the S9 class. He is also a four-time European champion. This next summer, he will take part in the Paralympic 2021 to be held in Japan on August 24 to September 5, 2021. Along with all these wins, he is also a great artist, excellent student with a vision and someone who has overcome great challenges to be where he is today.
