EDbU Deafblind Youth Camp 2022

EDbU Deafblind Youth Camp 2022
“Deafblind? And, so what!”

THEME

The theme of this EDbU Deafblind Youth Camp is “Deafblind? And, so what!”. This theme has been chosen to encourage (young) deafblind people to discover and develop their deafblind identity and find role models amongst others like them.
At the camp, we aim to foster this awareness on deafblind potential, rights and identity. We bring together deafblind people from various European countries so they can exchange knowledge and experiences on European level. Workshops and activities are provided to encourage development of competences and to experience what each one’s possibilities are. We also aim for these participants to continue their advocacy work in their home countries and to spread awareness about being deafblind and deafblind communication. Participants will also encourage their deafblind friends at home to gain deafblind awareness and knowledge on deafblind rights.
