At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
It is celebrated all around the world to raise awareness about deaf communities and their sign language rights.
It is celebrated by the global deaf community as a way to spread knowledge about deaf persons, their needs, and their sign language rights.
International Week of the Deaf first started in 1958 in Rome, Italy to make more people aware of the difficulties that deaf people endure and how the acceptance of sign language helps to overcome them.
The World Federation of the Deaf started this day in 1958 in Rome, Italy to create awareness of the difficulties of deaf people.
Hearing-impaired people have suffered quite a lot, to get recognition for their work and to be accepted socially. UN resolutions formed the World Federation of the Deaf that will help deaf people get recognition for their work and get more opportunities through their language and culture.
On this day don't sympathize with people but empathize. Volunteer to meet some people and learn their stories. Help raise awareness in your community or even your social media community. Read books relating to this and help people who are suffering from hearing loss to get access to the most important resources with your help.
Volunteering at a center can help children and adults who are deaf. You can spread awareness on social media and help people recognize the efforts of many successful people who are hearing impaired. On this day, learn sign language and teach it to others.
This week is a collaborative effort of the World Federation of the Deaf and the United Nations.
International Week Of the Deaf is observed during the last week of September, annually.
This day was initially founded in Rome, Italy but is celebrated globally to give attention to the accomplishments of deaf people along with fighting for their language rights.
In 2020, the deaf awareness week began on September 20, Sunday, with the theme ‘We Sign for Human Rights.
This week is all about the deaf community and their essential need for sign language. This week raises awareness about the practices a person should do to prevent displaying stigma about deaf people and what you can do to help these people.
The World Federation of the Deaf inspired and helped establish this week of awareness for the deaf community and sign language.
Its importance is that it helps in creating awareness about the deaf community, recognizing the successes of deaf people, and doing what we can to help with their struggles, in particular the barriers that they encounter with sign language.
One thing that we need to keep in mind is being patient as every community has a different way of communicating.
Some reasons to celebrate it are raising awareness, disability inclusion, uplifting the deaf community, and sign language recognition.
