THEME AND LOGO

THEME The EUDY Youth Camp 2016’s theme,”Diversity in the Minority” embraces the richness of cultural diversity within the Deaf communities. Participants will be given the opportunity to engage in intercultural dialogue while exploring and analysing cultures, traditions, and norms within the Deaf community. The theme will focus on gender equality, the LGBTIQ community and cultural minorities as well as disability and social inclusion. Participants will be challenged to reflect upon their position and attitudes in order to gain a deeper awareness of intersectional discrimination within the Deaf community. LOGO The EUDY Youth Camp 2016 Logo reflects the theme and location of the camp. The hand symbol in turquoise color represents the solidarity of the intersectional communities within the Deaf community. The blue, red, and green Dalecarlian horses are the iconic symbols of the region Dalarna in mid-Sweden. The Dalecarlian wooden-carved horses have been an important part of Swedish history for over 150 years.

LOCATION The EUDY Youth Camp 2016 will take place from 8-17 July 2016 at Västanviks Folkhögskola, in Leksand, Sweden. Västanviks Folkhögskola, located in the heart of Dalarna, is the sole college/adult education program in Sweden that offers a full sign language environment. The school will provide food and lodging for the whole week of the camp. There is also a nearby lake, Siljan, which is about 500m down the road from the school.

ALCOHOL AND DRUG POLICY ALCOHOL According to Swedish Law, only persons aged 20+ are allowed to purchase alcohol; however, persons aged 18+ are permitted to enter pubs and drink alcoholic beverages. Participants are asked to drink with your mind. Know your own limit, do not participate in dangerous drinking games. Avoid swimming or other exhaustive activities while you are under the influence. Participants are not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages during the workshops and excursions. DRUGS Swedish Law prohibits all use of illegal drugs/narcotics. If the person is caught in any act concerning drugs (proprietary and/or dealing), we shall notify the local police immediately. The COC and EUDY will not be held responsible. Medicine prescribed by the doctor is allowed if you bring a doctor’s note with an explanation.

VACCINATIONS

For Sweden, there are no required vaccinations. However, it is encouraged to stay current on routine shots (MMR and DPT vaccinations, poliovirus vaccine, Heptatits A & B, etc).

HEALTH INSURANCE

Each participant is expected to provide some kind of health coverage for the duration of the camp. Participants will be given the opportunity to share their medical needs on the registration form. Campers have the freedom not to reveal anything about their medical needs, but EUDY and the Organising Committee will not be responsible in any way should something happen.
