This year, International Week of Deaf People runs from 21st – 27th September. It's a time for people to come together to celebrate the Deaf community and the rich culture that comes with it.
Ways to Get Involved
Learn and promote BSL Even learning a few signs is a great way to start. Share what you learn with others and help make BSL more visible.
Wear blue Show your support by wearing blue throughout the week.
Celebrate deafness Take the time to recognise and celebrate Deaf identity, culture, and community - not just raise awareness of deafness.
Attend Deaf events Look out for local Deaf events happening during the week and get involved.
Get Involved
However you choose to take part, International Week of Deaf People is a great opportunity to learn, celebrate, and show your support for the Deaf community.
