The 20th Nordic Culture Festival will take place in Akureyri 10-16 July 2006. The Icelandic Association of the Deaf invites deaf, hard of hearing and other interested people from the Nordic countries to join us in a celebration of deaf culture. The festival’s theme is a combination of introducing Iceland’s nature and culture in conjunction with the sea, the surroundings and elves and ghosts which are a part of the Icelandic folk tale tradition. Festival guests will have many opportunities to travel from Akureyri and see as much of Iceland as they like, make new friends from other countries and experience diverse cultural activities.
The festival has something to offer everyone. People can choose to stay in Akureyri and relax in the comfortable small town, go to lectures and art exhibitions and the theatre in the evening, followed by a lively chat and a beer at the Arctic Nordic Deaf Pub. Those who like to be on the move can go on exiting day trips in the vicinity of Akureyri and experience different aspects of Iceland in good company.
Akureyri is in the north of Iceland, about 5 hours by car or 50 minutes by airplane from Reykjavík. It is the largest town in the north of Iceland inhabited by approximately 16.000 people. About 200.000 tourists come to Akureyri every year to swim, ski and enjoy the town life and its beautiful surroundings.
Come to Iceland in July 2006. You won’t regret it!!
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!
I am pleased to welcome you to the VI. DHI- Homepage and the conference in Berlin, the capital city of Germany. Berlin, the city which was shared by two states after the fall of the Nazi-power, was reunificated in 1990 and is now in the middle of Europe (Germany).
The 6th Deaf History International Conference in Berlin is intended to be dedicated to emphasize legal, political and sociological oppressions and forms of discriminations towards the Deaf Community in the history in order to reflect on the past, to overcome the shady history and to imagine better future. The slogan is to overcome the past and its consequences to present solution for the present .
The Deaf History International Conference will focus on several subjects of Deaf History such as Deaf Women History; Deaf Art/Theater/Movie History; Future and Goal of Deaf History; Deaf History and the sign linguistics; Discrimination a.) of Deaf in School and Education and b.) of Deaf minorities; the status and role and contribution of Deaf History studies and also the role of Deaf History for the Deaf community and Deaf studies/Research fields and other topics.
(Please look on the topic list for the congress under: DHI-Topics)
There will be a special topic about the Deaf Community Life in the period from 1933 to 1945 relating to subjects of Deaf Holocaust, Forced Sterilization, Deaf Nazi, Deaf Refugees etc.
The first and regrettably the last until present conference took place 1998 in the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C./USA. In 2002, a special volume of the Conference reports had been published. As a result research studies of this special subject of the Deaf History have been initiated and consequently necessitated organization of the next scientific Conference in order to continue the previous researches.
Since now you are cordially invited to submit your Paper Proposals for the Congress.
On this occasion, go please to the Field "Call for papers" (see also Menu) in order to become acquainted with the conditions of registering (first step: Registration) and submitting Proposals.

Have you ever wanted to travel and explore the unknown and try diving, but have been unable to take that giant leap because of your hearing loss? Do you find it hard to understand diving instructors in big classes? FRUSTRATED???
Not anymore. Welcome aboard to the Sampai Jumpa where your travel and diving worries will disappear.
Frank van der Linde and Naomi Hayim have taught many D/deaf and hard of hearing people. Whether you want to learn to dive, or be gently guided around the beautiful sights of the underwater world, let us take you by the hand. Together, we can teach you scuba diving with confidence and ease.
As soon as you jump on the boat, you can relax completely. We will put you in an environment that caters for your needs without you having to feel different from the group.
Following the successes of our previous trips where we had many D/deaf and hard of hearing people join us from the United States, Europe and Australia, please find dates for the next trips starting from early 2006. We look forward to welcoming you!
Dates for 2006 and 2007.2/13/06 – 2/20/06 – Similan & Surin Islands

The aim of delegating the above trips is for D/deaf/hard of hearing divers to meet one another.
If you wish to come at other times not specified above, you are most welcome to book any trips you wish. Naomi will be on board at all times from October 2005. We use a wide range of communication methods, to ensure that everyone can understand and participate, these being BSL, ASL, lip speaking, gestures and fingerspelling. We aim to accommodate everyone, whatever their communication needs are.
All our trips will be a mix of D/deaf, hard of hearing and hearing people. If you have any specific requests, contact Naomidana via her email address: naomi@worldwidediveandsail.com and she will provide you with any information you require.
“... the fact that communication was not an issue, was the ultimate for me, especially when I compare it to diving in this country and other places, where I have missed out on the dive briefings etc. I also learnt a lot about my diving and hope I have improved. Also, it was so much fun and there were some wonderful people on the trip.”
Shirley Wilson, London, UK
“I loved the diving so much that I have been thinking about whether I want to do graphic design as my career or to go into scuba diving!! Even my parents have noticed the change in me from when I first went travelling to now!! I'm more positive and more like the person I used to be 3 years ago, so you know for sure that I must have had a cracking time!!”
Deniece Wheatley, Bristol, UK
We look forward to welcoming you on the Sampai Jumpa for diving, sailing and travel fun!
