Delve into the many faceted world of the Deaf Community, Deaf Arts and their rich cultural heritage!
Emm runs super inclusive and always interesting events with plenty of interaction. Emm’s events always generate a lot of positive feedback!
This event begins with some eyebrow-raising facts around Deafness - highlighting just how little most of us know about the Deaf Community and its rich, diverse culture.
We will show a powerful film about the experiences of a Deaf British Sign Language (BSL) user and her experiences with lipreading. Discussion will follow around the challenges faced by Deaf people who lipread and how we can all play our part in becoming more aware of how we can support them to overcome these challenges in everyday life.
We will then share our top 10 Deaf Awareness Tips for Deaf Awareness within the workplace, exploring further how we can become Deaf Friendly supportive workplaces, that embrace employment of Deaf people.
We will finish by looking at recent legislation and how that is changing accessibility for BSL users in the future in the world of work and end with some real-life comments by Deaf people and how they feel.
This will lead to us asking if those watching today are now ready to fully support and implement Deaf Awareness, avoiding tokenistic gestures, by fully understanding their needs in the workplace at all levels.
