Expression of Interest - Hear Me Out Cairns

Want to build confidence, communication skills & have fun? Have you heard about DSIDQ’s program, Hear Me Out? We have delivered 4-6 week programs in Brisbane, workshops in the Gold Coast, Toowoomba and Townsville, and a teen workshop, and we would love to bring it to Cairns. Hear Me Out: Finding Your Voice Through Debate is a free program from Down Syndrome and Intellectual Disability Queensland, designed for adults 17+ with intellectual disability. Through fun and supportive debate activities, you’ll build confidence, strengthen communication, and grow your critical thinking skills — all while developing your voice and sharing your ideas. The program was co-designed with people with intellectual disability, making it accessible, relevant, and engaging. You’ll take part in group games, partner activities, and interactive challenges, all supported by DSIDQ staff. When: 22nd, 23rd, 24th of July, 2026 Where: Cairns location TBC. Important: The program will only run if enough people register. Letting us know you are interested helps us plan and confirm if the program can go ahead.
