Positive Representations of Events

Within the past couple of years there have been many events that have taken place such as The Olympics, concert in remembrance of those who died at Ariana Grande's concert, The MOBO awards, the Oscars, Pride of Britain awards and Obama being inaugurated as the 44th President of the U.S and Concerts and other events in remembrance of those who died in Grenfell Tower and the survivors of the Tower.

The Olympics is an event held every 4 years to show the success of every athlete in the world, but as well as able-bodied athletes we know and see there is also the Paralympics which is for the disabled athletes so we as the public can see the success of each disabled athlete and make them feel recognised and cared for.





In June 2017, there was a concert held in Manchester in remembrance of those who died at the concert Ariana Grande held in Manchester. Alongside Ariana Grande at the concert were other famous faces such as Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and many more.
