- What is EUDY? The European Union of the Deaf Youth has been constituited in Bruxelles, Belgium, in 1984, from the National groups of the deaf youth from the different European countries. Every year the five members of the EUDY (among them the National leader of the CGSI Italy, Angelo Raffaele Cagnazzo), meet together to carry out different activities that involve the European deaf young in order to encorage the integration among peoples, the cultural exchanges, the development of the countries in the depressed areas, the promotion of the deaf culture and the Signs Languages.
The principal objectives of the EUDY are:
• to promote and support the activities and the work of the deaf youth inside the European Union and in Europe;
• to offer information and advices to the youth sections and to the associations of the deaf young;
• to promote the access to the information services for all and the utilization of the Signs Language;
• to promote the same opportunities for the deaf youth;
• to collect money to support the activities of the EUDY.
