The Theme
Why Diaspora?
The National Deaf Day has now become a popular global event but has yet to reach the shores of the UK. The concept encourages deaf people of parallel cultures from many countries to participate in the celebration of cultural capital, social harmonization, knowledge exchange and using the pluralism of sign languages and international sign.
The original concept was a cultural festival, with stalls, performances, exhibition of art and craft, tasting various cuisines and interaction with guest speakers; this event will take it to a new level, an international Diaspora – a true temporary global village unified by Deaf Culture and signed languages.
Like the logo, through our hands we can reach the world - we are one community, without a home, joined together by a culture.
