On 8th to 10th March 2013, the New Zealand Deaf community will get together in Wellington, New Zealand for a rare opportunity to learn, think, connect and share ideas over three days.
The first Deaf View conference was held twenty-one years ago in 1991 and the second held in 2004, both in Auckland. Much has changed since then. The Deaf community has grown and adapted with the many changes happening around us in New Zealand and on the international scene.
This Deaf View conference is an opportunity for the NZ Deaf community to come together to reflect on our progress, current issues and future directions. It will provide a space to discuss our NZ Deaf community journey - our history, our current challenges and opportunities to ensure a strong NZ Deaf community into the future.
The conference theme is: "Deaf View 3: Our Changing Community"
We aim to make an exciting conference programme that will show the depth and diversity of knowledge, skills and creativity in the Deaf community. We are pleased to have two international keynote presenters joining us: Colin Allen, World Federation of the Deaf President and Breda Carty, a well-known Deaf history researcher and a lecturer in Special Education.
The Deaf View 3 Conference will also include the Deaf Short Film Festival. Take time out from workshops and be wowed by Deaf films produced, directed and acted by members of our Deaf community.
The conference venue is the InterContinental. The Deaf Short Film Festival is also to held at the same location.
