  • The Nordic Council of the Deaf is a non-partisan and non-religious association whose mission is to work and raise awareness of the linguistic and cultural interests of the deaf in the Nordic countries. It was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1907 and met irregularly until the 1950s. The organization changed its name to the Cooperation of the Nordic Associations of the Deaf in 1960, later becoming the Nordic Council of the Deaf in 1972. The council's members are the respective national associations of the deaf in the Nordic countries: * Denmark (Danish Deaf Association) * Faroe Islands * Finland * Greenland * Iceland (Icelandic Association of the Deaf) * Norway (Norwegian Association of the Deaf) * Sweden The council meets twice a year. Two representatives from each country attend the meetings. Member countries take turns holding the presidency for four years. Every four years, a cultural festival is organized and the host country is changed. A key issue for the council is to work for equality and participation of the Nordic deaf in society, which can be realized when sign language has a strong position in society. The organization views different national sign languages, which have been used for hundreds of years in the region, as an irreplaceable part of Nordic linguistic diversity. The Nordic Deaf Youth Council is its sister organization. (en)
  • Dövas nordiska råd (DNR) är ett partipolitiskt och religiöst obundet förbund med uppgift att arbeta, och medvetandegöra dövas språkliga och kulturella intressen i de nordiska länderna.

Från Sveriges sida är det Sveriges Dövas Riksförbund som är anslutet till DNR. Medlemsländerna turas om att åta sig ordförandeskapet i fyra år. Vart fjärde år ordnar man en kulturfestival och då byter man värdland. En huvudfråga för rådet är att arbeta för nordiska dövas jämlikhet och delaktighet i samhället. Delaktigheten och jämlikheten förverkligas först när teckenspråket har en stark ställning i samhället, menar man. De olika nationella teckenspråken, som har använts i hundratals år i regionen, är en oersättlig del av den nordiska språkliga mångfalden. Systerförbund är Dövas nordiska ungdomsråd, DNUR. (sv)
