Every child has the right to education – also children with deafblindness!
That is the core of our Global Education Campaign and also the main message of our next World Conference together with the World Federation of the Deafblind WFDB 2027 in Switzerland.
Because children with limited use of their sight and hearing (including dual sensory loss and additional disabilities) experience difficulties in participating in educational settings and are often left behind.
They have limited access to communication, information, their environment and social interaction. These children need specialized support to access education.
The Global Education Campaign, which will culminate in the next World Conference, therefore calls for the immediate respect of the right to education of all children with deafblindness and children with related needs.
We would like to express our gratitude to our donors, a list of whom you can find on this page.
