Welcome to Frontrunners Blog!!

Dear friends,

Welcome!

Some of you may know that I am in Denmark as from September 1st until December 15th to take part of the fantastic programme called FRONTRUNNERS.

Frontrunners is an international leadership project which 12 Deaf youths from all over the world meeting together in Castberggaard Folk High School in Vejle. (The school was named after Peter A. Castberg, the founder of the first Deaf school in Copenhagen in 1807).

In the programme, we will be learning about Deaf Cultures, Identity, History along with organisation skills and structure. We will be able to develop our knowledge in both organisation and management skills. It is a good programme for my CV.

We will be taught by some famous international Deaf leaders from all over the world about their specific areas in depth.

We will not only stay in CastberggÄrd, we will be travelling to Deaf related events - either social or study all over the Europe. Trips various including Helsinki, Finland for WFD Congress on Human Rights, Gotheborg, Sweden for Deaf Day, Copenhagen for various of Deaf issues etc.

I will be posting my news online when I have time. I will be telling about events where I attended and what I have learnt.

Enjoy the Blog!
