 UK Council on Deafness
Founded in Sept 1993 by a consortium of deaf organisations, the UK Council on Deafness aims to achieve full participation in society for all deaf people and create an environment in which voluntary sector organisations working with deaf people can reach their full potential.
The first Deaf Awareness Week was held in America in 1951, and has continued to educate people about the many issues and difficulties that face deaf people in the world today.
In the UK, Deaf Awareness Week sees a wide range of national and local events taking place across the country to “promote the positive aspects of deafness, social inclusion and raising awareness of the huge range of local and national organisations that support deaf people and their family and friends.”

States of the Union
Countries joining the European Union had to agree to respect the freedom and identity of its citizens, achieved through a common economic and social development. Today there are 27 member states, working together for the benefit of the EU’s population of 501.26 million.
At the Milan Summit of 1985, EU leaders decided to celebrate 9th May as Europe Day, although some countries still observe the alternative date of 5th May due to the humanitarian role of the European Council in defending human rights and parliamentary democracy.
Europe Day has adopted several symbols and motifs, with activities revolving around the Flag of Europe: a circle of twelve golden stars on a blue background that was first used by the Council of Europe in 1955.

The Ribbons of International Firefighters’ Day
A defining symbol was found in red and blue ribbons, 5cm long and 1cm wide, which when joined at the top, represented the two elements of fire and water. Red and blue are also the colours internationally recognised to represent an emergency service.
On May 4th each year, people show support and recognition of Firefighters by wearing the blue and red ribbons on their lapels, pinning them to car aerials, hanging them in windows or using them to decorate trees. After its inauguration in 2002, a “Sound Off” became traditional when fire stations across the world set off their sirens at noon local time for a 30 second tribute, followed by a minute’s silence in memory and respect for all Firefighters killed in the line of duty.
