We at LearnBSL are thrilled about this news and are eager to celebrate and promote Sign Language Week 2023. This annual national campaign, led by the British Deaf Association (BDA), celebrates the beauty and importance of British Sign Language (BSL).
Sign Language Week takes place every March, and this year it runs from March 13 to March 19, 2023. The theme of this year’s campaign is “Protecting BSL”, and it aims to raise awareness about BSL, encourage more people to learn it, and preserve it for future generations.
The campaign is particularly significant this year as it marks two major milestones: the 20th anniversary of the UK Government’s recognition of BSL as a language in its own right, and the recent passage of the BSL Act (2022), which finally recognised BSL as an indigenous language of Great Britain.
We are excited to become a #BSLAlly and help protect and promote BSL. Join us and #BeginWithAWave!
