Introduction

Illuminating landmarks can be a powerful way to mark awareness days such as Rare Disease Day. Illumination activities showcase a united front and shine a light on rare diseases as a collective (Rare Disease Day) or for a specific rare disease. Additionally, illuminations help to raise awareness and may result in people and families living with a rare disease feeling seen and heard.

The more local and national buildings and monuments that are illuminated, the stronger the impact!

Once you have completed this course, you will:

  • Understand the basics of illuminating landmarks.
  • Be aware of the key factors to consider when reaching out to potential landmark contacts.
  • Know how to maximise the impact of illuminations organised.

The content is self-paced so complete the modules when it best suits you. You can test your understanding throughout and upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate.
