Language shapes how we connect, learn, and belong. 🤟💙

Today, we celebrate the diversity of sign languages and the Deaf community - their language, identity, culture and history, and their contribution to society. Sign languages are full, natural languages with history, culture and expressiveness for millions of people across the world.

Around 300 sign languages exist around the world. Sign language is not universal, they have their own grammatical structure, vocabulary, and linguistics principles. Filipino Sign Language (FSL) was recognized as the national language of the country through Republic Act No. 11106 in 2018, which protects the language rights and cultural identity of the Filipino Deaf community.

This International Day of Sign Languages, let us continue our fight for accessible communication, education for all and equal opportunities. Inclusion starts when we can all communicate in the language that comes most naturally to us.

Respect Deaf Culture and Sign Language
Hi, Hearing Community! Please help share this message with others who may not be aware of Deaf culture.
Mocking Deaf people, sign language, or interpreters is not a joke. Please stop making fun of sign language and the Deaf community. We deserve respect and understanding.
Interpreters have a big heart and an important role in helping the Deaf community communicate and be included. Please respect both the Deaf and Interpreter communities.
Let’s educate ourselves, promote awareness, and create a more respectful and inclusive community.
Please remember that there are laws protecting the rights of Persons with Disabilities, including Republic Act No. 9442.
Respect is not a joke. Sign language is not a joke. Deaf culture is not a joke. 💙🤟 See less

We are extremely proud as our co-founder Ms.Elyse Go was invited as a Tedx Speaker for St. Jude Catholic School. According to her,

"The biggest win wasnt about going down to history as a TedX Speaker- it was 2 things- FIRST , thank you very much TedxStJudeYouth for accommodating to make the event inclusive- Having sign language interpretere hence gaining huge access and learning for the Deaf community. SECOND , the suprisingly overwhelming interest in the work that we do with the amount of questions we received. Mabuhay and thank you TEDx for this platform!" - Elyse Go , Co-Founder Hand and Heart.
