As well as being our 85th Anniversary, this year also marks a significant milestone for NZSL: 20 years since NZSL was recognised as an official language of Aotearoa New Zealand!
New Zealand Sign Language Week is not just a celebration; it’s a moment for the Deaf community to stand tall, embracing their identity and heritage. It’s a time to showcase the richness of NZSL and the diverse culture it represents.
There are heaps of online resources to learn from, including the Let's Talk booklets where you and your whānau can learn basic signs for everyday sitations: https://nzsignlanguage.nz/resources/lets-talk-booklets/
Every sign counts!

Today in 1941, as Aotearoa prepared to remember the men who went to war, a group of mothers in Karori, Wellington, did something quietly extraordinary.
Born of necessity, they created a place where parents and tamariki could learn together, that would quietly outlast the war and grow across Aotearoa.
Eighty-five years later, we’re still here, and still playing, learning, and growing together - one of the most enduring ideas in New Zealand's history.
Join us on our journey over the coming year as we share the stories of our rural communities, bicultural foundations, the generations of women who built the movement, and our vision for the next 85 years.
