Very exciting to see the grand opening of @DeafVillageIrel #IrishSignLanguage cafe and redeveloped atrium space. I opened DVI over 10 years ago in 2013 and was proud to be a part of the subcommittee on this redevelopment project. Well done to all involved!

[Heather Humphreys @HeatherH]

A really special morning in Cabra as we officially opened the new cafe and atrium in @DeafVillageIrel .

This facility means so much to our deaf community , who were kind enough to teach me some sign language.

Really pleased to support this project with €100k in funding.

Privileged to attend @IrishDeafSoc strategic plan launch at @DeafVillageIrel yesterday. Protecting our language and preserving our culture is a must.

On Deaf Awareness Week, ahead of the first Deaf Arts Festival NI this weekend, Paula Clarke, who stars in both productions, spoke to @BBCnireland about being a role model for other deaf people who want to perform. An inspiring read. @c21Theatre @cre_8theatre @Paulaclarke777 👇

@gasciaouzounian Thanks Gascia! It was a wonderful and thought-provoking workshop that you organised with @cityastheatre. One of the most enjoyable pieces I have worked on. I actually referenced this briefly during a recent seminar with @TheBartlettUCL so all thanks to you for initiating this!

[Anthony Sinclair @SignSourceUK]

Great seeing how much awareness is being brought about alongside this whole process. And not better week than this week! #DeafAwarenessWeek

[UCL Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment @TheBartlettUCL]

Collaboration between architecture students and D/deaf people is crucial if we're to re-think the present + future of design to promote equity and accessibility for all.

“The concept of Deaf Gain offers a radical reframing that views being deaf not as a “loss” but an advantage — a different and remarkable way of being.” - President Roberta Cordano
