What
is
Frontrunners?
"Frontrunners" is
a Deaf International Youth
Leadership Training
Programme with focus on
International Project
Management. The ambition is
to take effort of that each
individual has the ability
to make the conditions
better for the Deaf
community.
Participants for the
Frontrunners come from all
over the world, within the
age from 18 to 30 years old.
All have intentions of their
own in this programme. We
are as individuals able to
improve the campaigns for
deaf causes, in our own
country and worldwide. The
general aim of Frontrunners
is to change the world.
This Frontrunners 2007 is
the third course. The
first (in 2005) and the
second (in 2006) were
organised for only 4 months.
Our Frontrunners programme
has been extended to 8
months this year. It is
split into three periods.
In the 1st period the
participants learn the
concept of Frontrunners,
which is the main topic -
Leadership and Project
Management -, and
several other topics
relating to identity,
psychology, sociology,
politics, culture, language,
and minority. The
subordinate themes of the
topics are Audism,
Fundraising, Deafhood,
Empowerment, Developing
countries, etc.
The main topic will be put
into practice in the 2nd
period. We will create our
own projects. It can be
managed in our own or any
countries.
In the last period we return
from our projects. The main
topics in this phase are to
recognize the weakness and
strengths about our work
experiences from the 2nd
period and evaluate each
item.
We hope the programme has an
impact to us. Follow us!
Why? We will update reports
every week on this website.
So, pay attention!
