Interviews for the New YAB

YAB member Tania tells us about being on the interview panel for the new Youth Advisory Board!

On Wednesday 13th June I went to London to do some interviews with Jo and Lucy . This was held in the NDCS offices, which is somewhere that I have never been before.

The experience of doing the interviews was great for me, not only cause it was fun, but mainly because of seeing what views the young people had and their enthusiasm about being on the board.

It gave me a great insight of what they also want to change about the future for deaf young people. The people I interviewed were great and really wanted to have the place on the board!
Looks like Jo and the team will have hard decisions to make because young people seem to have many great ideas.

Overall, it was a great day and experience for me and I would love to do this sort of thing again

YAB Videos :)

Our last bit of fun with the YAB was to spend hours of time with deaf media company Remark making loads of cool videos about the YAB and also information videos for deaf kids and teenagers :)

The idea was that we all wanted to become more independent and find out about the cool technology out there! So we have a retubing you hearing aids video... and a using your radio aid for music etc video :)

As well as that we realised that some deaf teenagers would be wondering about cochlear implants... so we made a video about those too!!

Enjoy :D
