The YE will take place from 17 to 27 July 2015 in Siciliy, Italy.
APV will take place from 05 to 07 June 2015 in Siciliy, Italy.
Four countries will partecipate: Italy, Poland, Macedonia and Lithuania. The YE will involve 28 participants. Each group will be made of 2 deaf and 2 hearing people, 2 group leaders and 1 interpreter that will facilitate communication.
