The European Deafblind Youth (EDBY) Camp 2024 is taking place from 21 to 31 July in Germany, exactly in Oer-Erkenschwick, a town in the Ruhr area, which lay across western Germany and is close to the cities of Dortmund, Essen, Dusseldorf and Munster. The Ruhr area impresses with its fascinating mix of industrial history, diverse culture and natural beauty.<\/p>\n

Sanja Tarczay, WFDB President, and Francisco Trigueros, President of the European Deafblind Union (EdbU), have been invited to give lectures representing their respective organizations and discussing the work they each undertake.<\/p>\n

The camp is aimed at deafblind young people with varying degrees of hearing and visual impairment. Many participants have not previously encountered role models, making this camp an important learning space. The participants are between 18 and 38 years old. Special attention is given to individuals from diverse backgrounds, including black, indigenous, queer and people with additional impairments.<\/p>\n

The program, carefully designed by deafblind team members, is extremely diverse. The 11-day camp is based on a pedagogical concept of non-formal education, where participants are active learners rather than passive listeners. Activities include games, art, performances, and parties, with each session lasting approximately one hour before a break.<\/p>\n
