We aren't far away from Deafblind Awareness Week 2026, which runs from June 22 to 28, and coincides with the birthday of Helen Keller on June 27! Every year, the Deafblind community comes together to raise awareness, celebrate its members, and advocate for inclusion and accessibility.
This year, Deafblind West Australians is hosting a Morning Tea Celebration at Perth City Farm on Wednesday 24 June, 9am - 11.30am. There you will find a Deafblind Community Art Exhibition, a Q&A Panel with DBWA Young Leaders graduates, a theatrical performance featuring deafblind actor Eddie Szczepanik, and the Graduation Ceremony for DBWA Young Leaders 2026.
If you would like to RSVP for their event, please reach out to them directly at [email protected]. And get in fast, as RSVPs close on June 12.
