EUD - European Union of the Deaf


EUDY is an organisation of and for young Deaf people in the EU and Europe between the ages of 18-30. The organisation is non-profit and based on voluntary work of young Deaf people. EUDY is governed by a Board. The Board has five members, who are elected by the General Assembly of EUDY.

The most important activity of EUDY is the biennal EuroCamp. EUDY gives responsibility of arranging the camp to the national Deaf youth organisation of the country which wants to organize the Camp.

The vision of EUDY is to achieve a pan-European Deaf youth community with no national borders. It means more student exchanges, more pan-European activities, creating a European consciousness among Deaf youth in Europe.

EUDY wants to improve the co-operation and social life between European Deaf youth. We will pay special attention to the new EU countries. We will invite them to the EuroCamps and introduce them to new Deaf communities.

For the next 4 years EUDY will focus on:

EUDY Statutes
Close collaboration and meetings with EUD
Collaboration with WFDYS and other organisations
Creating strong Deaf Youth citizens in Europe
Creating EUDY Junior Camp for 13-17 years.
