World Federation of the Deaf

he World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) is an international non-governmental organisation representing and promoting approximately 70 million deaf people's human rights worldwide. The WFD is a federation of deaf organisations from 134 nations; its mission is to promote the human rights of deaf people and full, quality and equal access to all spheres of life, including self-determination, sign language, education, employment and community life. WFD has a consultative status in the United Nations and is a founding member of International Disability Alliance (IDA). At its recent World Congress in Jeju, South Korea, WFD members (136) approved the WFD strategic direction 2023-2030 and Action Plan 2023-2027. Important themes are covered in these 2 documents which strive to ensure that we create access for all deaf people to all ways of life in "a world where deaf people everywhere can sign anywhere" (vision). Furthermore, our mission is to work towards the full realisation of linguistic rights and human rights in all areas of life, with full recognition and implementation of these rights across local, national and international levels. To realise our mission and vision, the following are part of our Action Plan 2023-2027: Building Capacity across the Globe: ensuring increased participation of women, youth and underrepresented communities; provide effective capacity building projects to countries who are not yet members to assist them with creating their own national deaf associations so that they can represent themselves in their countries; Putting Deaf people on the Agenda: the WFD will continue to strive to put deaf human rights at the forefront of all representation internationally, including at the UN; we will effectively promote International Week of Deaf people and be ready to response to deaf people's needs in times of crises, disasters and war. Realising nothing about us without us: the WFD continues to be the leading authority for deaf people and sign languages and has committed to developing resources to assist deaf people raise awareness in their countries. Achieving Sign Language Rights for all: National sign languages are fundamental to achieving deaf people's human rights. We will aim to assist our member states in promoting the legal recognition of signed language in the country and advocate for early childhood language acquisition and inclusive multilingual education policies. Investing in a strong and sustainable organisation: to carry out our mission and vision we need greater investment in our secretariat and regional secretariat, expand our donor base, increase visibility and fundraising activities so that our organisation can carry on its important global work.

To The Future

The To The Future Foundation works for the benefit of the local community in Wroclaw. It brings together people from diverse backgrounds and ages. The foundation supports children, teenagers, people at risk of social exclusion, people with disabilities, and their guardians. We focus on spreading and promoting European values such as democracy and human rights, supporting cultural and historical education among young citizens of Europe (including shaping the attitude of active citizens and volunteers), acting for tolerance, peace, and understanding between nations, promoting self-development through non-formal learning methodologies, and encouraging social inclusion by promoting lifelong education and the development of 21 competencies for underprivileged groups. Therefore, we organize and participate in local events, meetings, seminars, workshops, and exhibitions, and cooperate with non-governmental organizations and local authorities to improve healthy behaviors and attitudes, better mental health and well-being, and equalize economic opportunities and gender inequalities for women. We are also involved in voluntary service. We focus on building stronger communities by engaging young people to participate in local projects and cooperation to help ensure social inclusion, increase self-confidence, self-esteem, and enhance mutual understanding. One of our most important projects is "Disability via Art." This project aims to create a dedicated space where people with disabilities and seniors can actively participate in artistic workshops, breaking down societal barriers and promoting mutual growth through the transformative power of art. People with disabilities and seniors often face isolation, and their access to artistic expression and communal engagement is limited. This project seeks to address these challenges by providing an inclusive environment that encourages creative expression and social interaction. Overcoming preconceived notions about the abilities of individuals with disabilities is a key challenge, and the project aims to change perceptions through meaningful engagement. This year, we have also focused on the elderly. We have organized support groups, activities, and excursions for them to alleviate loneliness, poverty, and social exclusion. We realized how important it is because nobody wants to be alone, especially in their old age. By incorporating seniors into the art-centric initiative alongside individuals with disabilities, the project strives to boost seniors' sense of empowerment and involvement. Through artistic expression, seniors can discover a revitalized sense of purpose and connection, enriching their lives with meaningful experiences. To address the challenges at hand, we created a dedicated space that accommodates the unique needs of people with disabilities and seniors. This space serves as a hub for artistic workshops, fostering creativity, self-expression, and social interaction. This initiative, known as the "To The Future Disability via Art" project, is designed to address the issues of isolation and inactivity that often accompany these conditions. The core of the project involves conducting workshops tailored to the needs and interests of individuals with disabilities and the elderly. The aim is to create an inclusive environment that encourages active participation and combats the tendency for these individuals to stay at home, feeling excluded from broader social activities. In summary, the mission of the To The Future Foundation is to create a more inclusive and equitable society by supporting and empowering individuals at risk of social exclusion. We aim to foster social integration, promote lifelong education, and enhance the overall well-being of these individuals. By building stronger communities and encouraging positive relationships, we strive to create a future where everyone feels valued and included.
