IVSS Churchear at a local event for Pastoral Care among Hard of Hearing in Sweden
Our vice president/secretary Ingrid Stillström will represent IVSS Churchear at a parish event for Pastoral Care among Hard of Hearing in Holm Parish in Northern Sweden on April 16th this year.
Such local evets are not only important recruiting areas for our association. They are even more important areas for us to Exercice influence on local and regional church authorities as well as ordinary parishioners on how to make parisshes and congregations accesible for people with a hearing loss. We therefore encourage our members to take the initiative in their local parish, congregation, institution or organisation to take the innitiative to arrange events with focus on how to facilitate the incluision of the hearing imaired locally and to invite board members or advvisors from IVSS Churchear, as well as othe resources, as speakdefrs.
