Historical Documentation: It’s Impact on Deaf Community and Identity

by Febe Sevilla




















The seminar aims to awaken the interest and encourage involvement of the Deaf Filipino Youth in preserving their rich heritage by undertaking various forms of historical documentations of the legacy left by the generations before them.This also aims to help the Deaf youth learn and discover more about their cultural and historical roots and draw inspiration from them, enabling them to realize that Deafness is not a barrier in achieving a better quality of life. Through this seminar, it is also hoped that participants will see the Deaf Gain- a sense of pride of the Deaf identity...seeing the Deaf as a cultural minority and not as a helpless group in society.
