TRAINING: International Deaf Youth Leadership Camp
Asia-Pacific Deaf Youth Leadership Camp will be held in Jakarta, Indonesia from 22nd – 27th June 2008 and run by the Indonesian Association for the welfare of the Deaf Youth.
[Edited March 6 '08: This announcement originally indicated that this was called the World Federation of the Deaf Youth Leadership Camp. However, it has been brought to my attention that this is not officially designated as a WFD camp, though WFD is aware of it. Rather, it seems to be primarily for the Asian-Pacific region. Interested individuals should contact Donny to inquire for further detail and clarification. Further corrections or clarifications will be made to this post if and when I receive them. Apologies for any inconvenience.]
The theme of the camp is “WE ARE ONE”.
The youth camp is aimed at identifying ways to advocate for Deaf people’s human rights and will involve training in leadership and organizational activities; stimulate networking so that Deaf people interchange rewarding experiences, access to communication and information. The camp will also provide an opportunity to Deaf youths around the world to participate in a gathering at international level and to gain experiences and exposure. For more information about this camp, kindly contact Donny in Indonesia on e-mail: info_4thapdyc2008@yahoo.com.
Because the host country is still developing, it is very hard to offer financial support.
Registration ends on 15th April 2008.
Delegates from the Asia Pacific region pay a registration fee of 250 US Dollars while those from other countries pay a total of 300 US dolars. The registration fee includes meals and accomodation. The delegates are expected to meet their flight costs (air tickets) to and from Indonesia. The age limit is 17 – 35 years. Email Donny for further information.
We Can Do first learned about this leadership camp through the free Disabled People International’s email newsletter.

Hi, Melissa
I’m the blogger for We Can Do, but I’m not responsible for the information I post. I’m simply a person who gathers information from a great many other sources and pulls them together for We Can Do readers into one blog site.
In order to learn more details about the Deaf Youth Leadership Camp, you should use the email address provided in the post itself (for Donny in Indonesia). The same idea applies for any other information provided at We Can Do: I always try to include, ideally, a web page that people can consult, or at minimum an email address for a responsible party that people can contact.
If you’re trying to SEND me information, you can do that at ashettle [at] patriot.net; see my “Wish list for written materials and resources as well as the About We Can Do page and the Why We Can Do pages for ideas of the type of materials I am likely to consider appropriate for inclusion at We Can Do.
But, in order to obtain further information about material posted at this site, I am usually not in a position to answer inquiries. Thus, you should examine the page you are interested in for appropriate web links or email addresses. Usually, in addition to presenting full URLs (for the most important web pages) I also insert hyperlinks from certain key words throughout the whole post (for example, if I’m writing about a report or publication that I think will interest readers, I will often link from the title of the publication to the place where readers can download it; or if writing about a conference, then often clicking the name of the conference will lead to the main conference web site, or the phrase “register” might lead to the registration page and so forth).
