We’re discussing merits & functions of developing a #SigningParliament to move Scotland beyond its #DemocraticDeaficit #DemDeaficit. Do we need a new institution by/for #BSL citizens? Below @grahamhturner outlines potential functions of such institution @scotinsight #demopart
Tha an t-Ollamh @grahamhturner a’ fosgladh @DemDeaficit mu choimhearsnachd BSL na h-Alba #gaidhlig #DemDeaficit
Thanks to all participants @DemDeaficit for insightful deliberation about #DemocraticDeaficit #DemDeaficit and what do to about it. And massive thanks to @grahamhturner for organising and @alison_phipps for wonderful chairing
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the live streams today - we'll be back in August for workshop number 2! #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
Who would a signing parliament be for? @grahamhturner demonstrating that's not a simple question to answer! #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
Another fantastic presentation from @jconama_bosco66 - we'll be back on the livestream for our afternoon sessions later on - link will be here later (about 1340) #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
We need Deaf people to be seen in politics - @jconama_bosco66 - linking back to @bjfletcher 's experiences of NOT being seen #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
Brilliant presentation by @jconama_bosco66 about the Irish experience of the #DemocraticDeaficit and the political campaign to overcome linguistic imperialism #DemDeaficit
A brilliant presentation by @bjfletcher there. Up next is @jconama_bosco66 presenting on "Finding our political voice" #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
Clearly the gap between the politically rich and the politically poor is growing in general (Dalton 2018), but the democratic deaficit is particularly pressing and action is long due. @bjfletcher is nailing it in his political lifestory @ScotParl #DemDeaficit @DemDeaficit
"Who has the power?" - @bjfletcher explaining the #AccessFails throughout politics #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
Next we have @bjfletcher presenting on 'Life as a Deaf political animal' - do join us on the live stream #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
We have two themes - representation (who is speaking for Deaf people?) and participation (how can Deaf people be involved in democratic activities?) #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
Our future sessions will look at WHAT we should do and HOW we should do it, but today we'll be thinking about WHY we are talking about the idea of a 'Signing Parliament' #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
As @grahamhturner is explaining - we have two more events in this series - August 23rd in Glasgow and November 22nd back in Edinburgh #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
Our first #SigningParliament event is tomorrow! More info here (https://t.co/HMAByr9VcV). You can join us via live stream tomorrow from 10am here (https://t.co/TC5YvLBVI4) or here (https://t.co/vdIJCIyoqw) #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
The other big political story today raises questions about exclusion from (party) politics and what it means to be a member of a party. Are Deaf people being included in political parties in an equal way? What more needs to be done? #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
Our final presentation on Friday will be at 1415 with @grahamhturner (from @HeriotWattBSL) discussing Deaf self determination. As with all our presentations, it will be live streamed #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
Jeff McWhinney (@jeffmcw) - former CEO of the @BDA_Deaf - will present on Deaf people representing Deaf people at 1345 on Friday #DemDeaficit #BSLEnlightenment
