In the past the Finnish Association of the Deaf and the Deaf Development Programme would meet together for a week in what was called the Annual Negotiations Meeting. That cycle was disrupted by Covid and we had no ANMs after March, 2019 until this week when Ms. Katarina Butera, our FAD representative, came to resume the yearly meetings.
Our first meetings were just the DDP management and Katarina and Colin Allen, a newly appointed advisor for DDP, and we used the meeting room in the DDP office building. Today, though, we had more staff attending for project reporting and moved our meeting to a larger room (where sometimes things like bicycles for incoming students can be stored.)
