RTÉ celebrates Irish Sign Language Awareness Week
In September 2023, RTE orchestrated a remarkable celebration of Irish Sign Language Awareness Week, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. Throughout the week-long event, RTE curated an array of innovative programs and initiatives aimed at raising awareness and understanding of Irish Sign Language (ISL) within the wider community. From Nationwide specials featuring on-screen ISL presentations to engaging initiatives showcasing the talents of young Deaf and Hard of Hearing contributors, RTE's dedication to amplifying the voices and experiences of the ISL community was palpable.
Notably, RTE's initiatives extended beyond traditional broadcasting, with special features highlighting ISL Weather production and other behind-the-scenes operations. As the week reached its culmination with the celebration of International Day of Sign Languages on September 23rd, RTE's Donnybrook campus sign turned blue in solidarity with Deaf communities worldwide, underscoring the importance of Sign Language as a fundamental means of communication and expression. RTE's exemplary celebration of Irish Sign Language Awareness Week 2023 serves as a poignant reminder of its ongoing commitment to fostering a more inclusive and accessible society for all.
