  • Not Synced
    Hello my name is Robert Adams
    and I am the Chair of the BDA.
  • Not Synced
    I went with Rebecca to the EUD
    conference, and I want to tell you that
  • Not Synced
    this year the EUD celebrates its
    40th anniversary as it was founded
  • Not Synced
    back in 1985 in London by the BDA
    working closely with the 4 organisations
  • Not Synced
    and I am really pleased and proud
    to say that work is carrying on through
  • Not Synced
    research and working
    with European countries.
  • Not Synced
    They have representatives from
    31 countries, including 26 EU member states.
  • Not Synced
    (5 not included/ members are from the UK????)
  • Not Synced
    I would like to highlight what
    the EUD has achieved:
  • Not Synced
    Advocacy and Policy the EUD strongly
    influenced EU disability legislation,
  • Not Synced
    focusing on Deaf rights, gender
    equality, and sign language recognition.
  • Not Synced
    Projects and Research which is ongoing,
    EUD led several EU-funded projects
  • Not Synced
    such as SignON, EASIER, and SWING
    CAMPUS, focusing on technology, education,
  • Not Synced
    and political participation.
  • Not Synced
    Representation the EUD has participated
    in over 30 major events,
  • Not Synced
    ensuring Deaf perspectives were
    reflected in European policy,
  • Not Synced
    including CRPD implementation
    and the Social Rights Pillar.
  • Not Synced
    Communication the EUD maintained
    visibility through newsletters, social media,
  • Not Synced
    and publications. Facebook and
    LinkedIn saw audience growth in
  • Not Synced
    followers of the EUD.
  • Not Synced
    Artificial Intelligence and Accessibility,
    EUD actively engaged in AI policy discussions,
  • Not Synced
    advocating for safeguards to protect
    Deaf people’s rights. It highlighted the
  • Not Synced
    need to include national sign languages
    in AI developments and raised concerns
  • Not Synced
    about the EU AI Act’s lack of
    strong human rights protections.
  • Not Synced
    So now lets look forward
    to the plan for 2025:
