Second Announcement - WFDYS Camp
1 - Second Announcement Message

Dear Deaf Associations and Deaf Youth Associations/Sections,

Time has flown by very quickly since our First Announcement. We are pleased to announce that
we have been working hard to ensure the camp is successful and has huge influence on the camp
participants by bringing together four special presenters from different countries around the world.

We aim to achieve this through our theme "Unlock a new world with Sign Language Rights ".

The objective of this camp, an event occurring every four years, is to instill in young people a
positive and open-minded attitude towards equality and to not exclude minorities. In addition to
that, we will also provide them with the tools to recognise their status within the Deaf Community
and to appreciate how diverse it is and how they can engage in it. This can be done in various
ways such as engaging in workshops, utilising social media and networking. This, then will open
doors to various communities within the Deaf Community, such as the student community (with
access to higher education) and linguistic, cultural and identity minorities.

Potential youth participants who wish to participate to apply should contact their Youth Ordinary
Member association directly. We will only accept communications directly from individuals/Deaf
Associations/Deaf Youth Associations/Sections. The registration deadline is Wednesday,
May 15, 2019.

We strongly encourage all eligible countries to start promoting and select their own
representatives soon as possible to ensure enough notice is being given for the participants to
fundraise and seek sponsorship to cover their expenses.

We are accepting four participants from each country to join the Camp.

If you require any more information or have any questions, please do contact us anytime. We
look forward to receiving applications by May 15, 2019.

Warm regards,

Jennifer MARCUS

Chair of COC WFDYS 2019

8 – How to Support Us?

The 7th WFDYS Youth Camp will be held from the 14th to 20th July 2019 in Paris, France. We
are so excited about the opportunity to include and inspire young people.
Why should you donate? Deaf young people from developing countries have very limited
opportunities to participate in events on an international level due to the remote location of
their countries and lack of exposure and financial constraints. We hope that these
young people will come to the camp, then go back home with lifetime friendships and an extensive
network that they can utilize in their future endeavors to strengthen their deaf communities
at home. In order to ensure their attendance, we are seeking financial support for these young people
to attend the camp. There are a few different levels of support. Any support is welcomed and
greatly appreciated.

How to support them by being a SPONSOR of the WFDYS Youth Camp 2019?

    1) Individual donation: Donate 1€, 10€, 20€ or more via the website:
