Taking part is possible
Over the past two years, Churchear - the Christian hard of hearing charity based in Europe, doing very similar work to Open Ears - has been working to create a concise, easy to digest brochure for anyone organising events. It’s there to help event organisers quickly think through all they need to do so that hard of hearing people are fully included and able to take part. The brochure has now been finished and printed in several languages, and there’s a much more in-depth guide being worked on; it already exists in German, but translation work is extra funding that the EU hasn’t provided and that Churchear has yet to raise enough money for. This will be available online, and give very in-depth information to go beyond the short, snappy thinking points offered in the brochure.
Have a look through the brochure, and if you’d like printed copies of it to give to your church or other event organising groups in your area, please let us know!
