Introduction
Hello,
The first leg of the British/Czech Rep BDA Youth Exchange took
place in May 2004.
Each of the British participants wrote reports about various events
within their exchange. You will find their words enjoyable, interesting
and funny too! You will also be read their evaluations, both qualitatively
and quantitatively, via the links further down the contents list
below.
I am grateful to have had the great experience of organising a
programme for 28 young deaf people, both British and Czech Rep,
for the first leg of this reciprocal, bilateral exchange. I really
enjoyed myself and it is really satisfying to know that there were
many positive and successful outcomes from this leg of the exchange.
I would like to thank the British and Czech participants for their
enthusiasm and for their participation in fundraising. Thanks also
go to the British Counil and the Sixty Six Club for their financial
support.
I am really looking forward to visiting the Czech Rep in October
2004 with the British group and to explore their Deaf Youth Culture.

(Please take note that the style of the reports is rather informal
with young participants' own comments!)
