We're excited to mark our ninth year and the return of bringing young people together as we deliver the festival in person.

I Am Festival is our yearly celebration empowering Deaf, disabled, and neurodiverse young people to explore their creativity. Over the past eight years, the festival has provided a platform for hundreds of young people to showcase their talents, leadership, ideas and opinions.

This year’s festival will be taking place from 11 - 15 March 2024 in venues across London exploring the theme ‘See Me! Hear Me!’

Put the dates in your diary and keep your eyes peeled for more information in the new year.
