2nd DEAF NATION SYMPOSIUM
* Conference Rationale
The second Deaf Nation Symposium is for everyone involved in national
and international Deaf issues, including Deaf community members,
service professionals, policy makers, families of Deaf people and
academics. The Symposium will address representation, service
provision and scholarship in relation to Deaf communities in the UK
and beyond. This event provides a forum for people to exchange
ideas, information, experience and know-how concerned with making a
real difference to the present and future lives of Deaf people.
* Why "Deaf Nation II?"
The first Deaf Nation Symposium, in 1997, was considered a huge
success by the participants. The Symposium also left delegates
hungry for more.
= More about WHERE the Deaf Nation stands today - in the UK and
globally
= More about WHO is marking out a clear and purposeful
direction for the Deaf community.
= More about HOW the Deaf community can best negotiate genuine
progress.
= More about WHICH models for development have the greatest
international relevance.
= More about WHEN the broader socio-political framework is going
to be receptive to Deaf initiatives.
Deaf Nation II will therefore give fresh impetus to this dialogue and
aim to push forward the frontiers on the major issues affecting all
Deaf people. The message from Deaf Nation I was that while knowledge
is good and should be shared, change is in the hands of policy-makers.
The theme of this Symposium, "Pathways to Policy", reflects this
recognition that the focus must above all be on how to make a
difference: using new ideas and information to practical effect.
* Content
The programme includes papers, workshops, panel discussions and
debate, plus displays, fringe meetings, cultural zone and social
events. Symposium policy is to provide maximum language access for
all participants using British Sign Language and English. Please
contact the organisers for further details.
* Deaf Nation Symposium Programme
In the 1990s, Deaf people are setting their own agenda for development
and change. This is reflected in the Symposium policy that all
invited programme contributors will be Deaf.
* Fringe Sessions
If you would like to run a fringe session - you may be working as a
researcher, or in a voluntary organisation, within the public service
sector or elsewhere please send a video or write to Liz Kelly with
your proposal. We are interested in what you have to tell - all
perspectives are welcome.
