What to remember
Participants come from many different backgrounds.
Think about Deafhood, race, gender, disability, and income.
Use differentiation — adapt your approach for different needs.
Your participants will have very different backgrounds. Some grew up in Deaf families, others are the only Deaf person in their family. Some are BIPOC, some are LGBTQ+, some have additional disabilities. Their economic situations are different. Their educational experiences are different. Good youth work recognises this diversity and adapts. This is called differentiation — adjusting your approach so everyone can participate and learn.
