Deaf
Awareness Week
Would you like to hold an event during Deaf Awareness Week (May 2-8) but
don't know how to go about it? If you need any help with ideas then
contact the UK
Council on Deafness (UKCoD). When you've decided what you're going
to do, they can help you publicise the event by adding it to their Events
Diary. They'll send the Deaf Awareness Week logo for you to put on
your publicity material too.
You can write to them at UKCoD, Westwood Park, Little Horkesley, Colchester,
CO6 4BS. Telephone on 01206 274 075. Text on 01206 274076. Fax on 01206
274077. Send
e-mails to info@deafcouncil.org.uk
Talent fund
Channel 4, the BBC and actors centres are working together on a talent
training fund for disabled actors that want to get on TV. You can find
out more here
or call BBC Recruitment on 0870 333 1330, quoting reference number 76463.
All information is available in accessible format upon request.
Got an opinion?
Would you like to appear on VEE-TV? We're looking for enthusiastic and
outgoing young deaf people who have something to say about current affairs
and issues affecting young people – and who aren't afraid to say
it!
If you'd like to take part in a debate to be filmed in mid April, please
send an e-mail to c.swinbourne@mavericktv.co.uk,
telling us a little about yourself, and explaining what you think is currently
the most important issue for young people and why.
With a general election looming, we also want to hear from as many of
you as possible about what policy/policies would win your vote. So if
you'd like to get something off your chest but you don't want to appear
on the show, let us know what you think at comments@vee-tv.com.
Newsletter
As we hope you've noticed by now, our website has now been refurbished,
revamped and relaunched! And now you can find out what's coming up in
the programme and on the website by signing up for the VEE-TV
newsletter.
