💬 “In 1880, Milan tried to ban sign languages in the education of deaf learners. 145 years later, we say: No more.”

The WFD President made opening remarks at the International Congress on the Education of the Deaf (ICED) in Rome, Italy. 🇮🇹

WFD led a project for the legal recognition of sign languages in Asia, supported by @NipponF_pr.
We completed training courses in 6 countries, Indonesia🇮🇩, Laos🇱🇦, Malaysia🇲🇾, Singapore🇸🇬, Thailand🇹🇭 and Vietnam🇻🇳.

We invited them to review the results and their advocacy work.

Taylor's recent Singapore concert missed a crucial mark on accessibility. Deaf fans lacked interpretation services.

#Inclusionmatters. Let's advocate for accessibility in all events, ensuring every fan can share in the joy of music.

@neilenore @dnlyong @straits_times Fingers crossed!

We want to thank the Singapore Deaf community for their support. We are extremely grateful and hope that this will lead to more accessible concerts and shows in the future. 🤞

We would also like to acknowledge the contributions of Deaf artists Shariffah Faaiqah and Lily Goh @EOHorizons in the access for this Coldplay concert. ✨

Thank you to the other interpreters, Azzam Akbar and Fang Shawn. You guys are such amazing people to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. ❤️

Thank you to @coldplay and Live Nation for this opportunity of a lifetime, providing access to Deaf communities worldwide. 🫶

@neilenore @dnlyong @SUBPAC @coldplay Lily Goh here, I am the one of the two Deaf artists who interpreted two songs, Something Just Like This and Hymn for the Weekend. Chris signed these two songs on different nights. For the first two nights, Something Just Like This. On the third night, Hymm for the Weekend…

[ExtraOrdinary Horizons (Deaf Singapore) @EOHorizons]

@neilenore @coldplay Yeah, we’re loving @coldplay more!

This from Justina Miles..

“…#accessibility must be a priority. Captions are a necessity for all social media, television, and public spaces. Interpreters need to be mandated at events, conferences, and the workplace….” ❤️🤟
