‘Debate #1: Intersectionality and Deaf Identity’

9 May'18
- 15:00

Next Generation, Please! Festival

Connecting Capitals, one of the Next Generation, Please! projects, builds bridges between the deaf communities in Belgium and the United States. We talk to the woman behind this   project - the deaf MEP Helga Stevens, and two young participants. Together we will examine the meaning of deaf identity in Belgium and the USA and shed light on the different linguistic and cultural deaf communities. What policies we can implement to achieve a more inclusive society? How can deaf people claim their place in society? 

With: Rachel Agnes Moore (European Disability Forum, moderator), Helga Stevens (N-VA) & two deaf students
