REGISTER AS PRESENTER

WHO SHOULD APPLY

We especially invite Deaf educators, sign language experts, and community leaders who are actively working within their local Deaf Muslim organizations or communities. Priority will be given to Deaf presenters who are affiliated with a local, national, or regional Deaf organization, whose work demonstrates community impact—such as Islamic education, access to worship, interpreting, or training—and who can provide a letter of endorsement or proof of membership from a Deaf-led organization in their country. Preference will also be given to those who speak on behalf of their community rather than solely about personal projects. This approach ensures that all presenters represent collective efforts and community-driven experiences, aligning with our goal of global collaboration rooted in local action.
