We the 15 was announced at the start of the 2021 Paralympic Games on the 14th of August in Tokyo. This is a ten year project thanks to the IPC (International Paralympic Committee) as well as Global Disability Innovation Hub, Global Citizen and At Scale just to name a few massive companies in the world.

This is in fact, the biggest campaign/movement in the world, and through this video (which is the first of many) The IPC is hoping to make and build the conversation of disability and to educate people that aren’t exposed to this about access and education around disability.
