National Week of Deaf People (NWDP) runs from September 19 - 25. The theme for this year is Building Inclusive Communities for all.
NWDP is held every year and celebrates deaf people and the Deaf Community. Many organisations host events and information that aim to raise awareness and celebrate the Deaf community, culture and language.
