1/2 As Deaf Awareness Month continues, we’re sharing a moment of connection through music. Dame Evelyn Glennie and Lois, both profoundly deaf, engage in sound and communication in different ways.

So heartening to see 15-year-old Owen Cooper place listening at the centre of his Emmy-winning journey. Listening helps us grow, connect, and believe in ourselves. Let’s teach the world to listen. #TheEvelynGlennieFoundation #TeachTheWorldToListen Image description in Alt Text.

Yesterday was #WorldHumanitarianDay. We’ve been reflecting on how listening — truly listening — can help us respond to others with care and empathy. Those who help others often carry heavy stories. Listening is one way we can support them too. What does real listening mean to you?

This #DeafblindAwarenessWeek, we’re highlighting how communication goes beyond speech, sound — even sight. Hands-on sign language shows us that listening can be felt. It’s about connection, presence, and openness. #InclusiveListening #TeachTheWorldToListen

What if sound wasn’t just something you heard, but something you felt, moved through, and lived? It's a question we asked ourselves on a visit to Feel the Sound at @BarbicanCentre, On until 31 August. Go feel it. #FeelTheSound #TeachTheWorldToListen

True listening goes beyond sound. Sign language teaches us to see, respect, and value diverse ways of connecting. This Sign Language Week, let’s listen with our eyes, hearts, and minds. Because every gesture holds meaning. #TeachTheWorldToListen #SLW2025 #MoreThanALanguage
