Charity Deafblind UK announced its free upcoming conference, ‘Standing Out and Fitting In’, taking place online on October 3 and dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for deafblind people.
The conference would feature a wide lineup of speakers, including a keynote from politician and supporter, Lord David Blunkett, and a session from HSBC Accessibility.
Creator of Mixmups, Rebecca Atkinson, would discuss combining sight and hearing loss with a career in children’s media, while Mirko Bauer, president of Deafblind International, would introduce Deafblind International’s Global Education Campaign.
‘At Deafblind UK, we believe that every deafblind person has the right to fully participate in society, and this conference is an opportunity to highlight both the challenges and successes within the community,’ said Nikki Morris, CEO. ‘Through shared experiences, informative sessions, and collaboration, we aim to foster a more inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.’
