In this newsletter, we will be talking more about what DEX Deaf Young Council (DDYC) are doing. DDYC formed a few years ago with the aim of sharing views of our experiences in mainstream education and what organisations can do to improve the lives of deaf children in education.
Our forthcoming theatre play in November will be our initiative to show how beneficial it is for deaf children to learn BSL at a young age. Deaf young children need to be bilingual so they can thrive in a hearing world and have a positive Deaf identity.

We hope you enjoy reading about DDYC and what we are doing in this newsletter.

As part of our ‘My Deaf Story’ Heritage project to continue the Deaf cultural experience, we went on a trip to Wolverhampton to visit Deaffest in May.

We enjoyed watching a short theatre play ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. There were plenty of exhibitors from BDA to British Deaf History Society, including artists, designers, charities and businesses.
|
|
We also looked at an exhibition showcasing talented deaf artists and
|
|
|
photographers. It had been a great day out and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
