From the Irish Deaf Society
The International Week of Deaf People (IWDP) is an initiative of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) and is celebrated annually by global deaf communities each year. This year the week starts on 19 September. In Ireland, the Deaf community takes part by celebrating Irish Sign Language Awareness Week.
During this week of celebrations Deaf communities around the world welcome the involvement of families of Deaf people, professional and accredited sign language interpreters, other stakeholders including national Governments, human rights organisations, and disabled persons organisations.
