Happy National Week of Deaf People, 2021!
nwdp.waad.org.au/
This year's theme is "Celebrating Thriving Deaf Communities" and we're honoured to collaborate with Deaf Services and The Deaf Society to create our very first Auslan Couch Choir.
Music belongs to everybody, so please enjoy 613 new friends performing You're The Voice by John Farnham. Some are singing, many are using Auslan (some for the first time), and if you missed out, you can still join in! We’ve left space for any voice to sing (or sign) the chorus. Make sure you watch all the way to the end!!!
Like spoken languages, Auslan is its own language with its own sentence structures and grammatical systems that are unique. This Auslan interpretation is not a word-for-word translation, but a representation of the sentiment of the song developed by native Auslan signers.
Want to learn Auslan? Deaf Services and The Deaf Society have classes in person, or online. **Sign** up!
