What is BDA Sign Language Week?

To coincide with the anniversary of BSL Recognition Day (18 March) the British Deaf Association (BDA) holds a nationwide Sign Language Week, celebrating our beautiful and unique language, British Sign Language (BSL).

Sign Language Week is designed to raise awareness of the United Kingdom’s Deaf community and provide a platform for Deaf people to proudly promote their language and culture.

We are pleased to announce a new website dedicated to our annual Sign Language Week- www.signlanguageweek.org.uk 

The site contains full details of what we would like you to do to help us make this week successful

British Sign Language is Britain’s fourth indigenous language

Let’s celebrate Sign Language Week!

We are asking you to- DREAM BIG! Please let your friends and family know and encourage them all to join in. Take your place on the wall of fame and help to convince Deaf children, young people, parents and hearing public everywhere that deaf people can do anything they want “WE CAN, YOU CAN”
