Mission & Interests

Goals: Our mission statement is to promote, advance and protect the rights of and opportunities for Deaf people in the European Union. Emancipation and equal opportunities are key philosophies in our work towards achieving an equal position in society with recognition of Deaf people as full citizens in our own right. This vision translates into three specific aims: Recognition of the right to use an indigenous sign language; Empowerment through communication and information; Equality in education and employment. In the course of its existence, EUD has implemented these aims in every aspect of our work. Both from an advocacy perspective and in our responses to situations we have monitored.
