Day 4: International Week of Deaf People 2021. Happy International Day of Sign Languages! This year’s theme is ‘We Sign for Human Rights’.
Today is International Day of Sign Languages – Sign Languages are for everyone!
The International Day of Sign Languages is a unique opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all deaf people and other sign language users.
The Deaf community are paying tribute to Dr Terence (Terry) Riley OBE, a prominent broadcaster, campaigner and leader from the Deaf community, who passed away on Wednesday 9th October 2019.
Why do we need Sign Language Rights for Deafblind people? Heather and Johnboy discuss their experiences of becoming Deafblind, what it’s like to lose your vision, and equality for all…
It’s through communication, that we are able to learn and gain knowledge and to be aware of what is going on in the world around us. With Sign Language, we can have access to that.
