Deaf Awareness Week 2024

Written By Allie Astell

1st-7th May 2024

Deaf Awareness Week takes place every year to increase public awareness about the issues affecting deaf people and deaf culture as a whole. This year the theme is “A World Where Deaf People Everywhere Can Sign Anywhere!’’.

The aim of this year’s Deaf Awareness Week is to increase the visibility of challenges the deaf community face and educate others on how they can support them. The theme highlights how being deaf brings unique challenges that not everyone will experience.

There are a variety of events and activities that are held over the course of Deaf Awareness Week for both educational and celebratory purposes – some examples of how you can get involved are below:

  • Attend deaf awareness events

  • Take a sign language class

  • Donate to a supporting organization
