History

|
FEAPDA brings together associations of Teachers of the Deaf from all over Europe. The aim of FEAPDA is to represent and support Teachers of the Deaf by sharing good practice principally through organising a congress hosted by one of the member countries.
Although FEAPDA's principal activity has been putting on a conference every two or three years, the federation has also been involved in some wider European projects. These include the Leonardo project and the iCARE project which has just finished. These exciting initiatives ensures that FEAPDA's voice was able to participate with a wide range of other bodies across many countries some of which are not already involved in FEAPDA. FEAPDA was able to offer expertise and contacts from among its members. Although some years ago the outcomes of the Leonardo Project continue to be used in different countries and are seen as worthy aims for deaf education today. |
Mr. Walter Wouts established the federation in 1969 in Brussels, Belgium. He was principal of a school for deaf children. He was very active in promoting FEAPDA. The setting up of this federation came from a desire of Teachers of the Deaf to play a more active role in discussions and to allow them to express and exchange ideas about the education of deaf children and young people more effectively than in the big international congresses. The federation holds a Congress every two or three years. {Read more}
