On 9th February, over 102,000 children signed and sang "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" at the same time. The previous record was 13,418!!
It was a terrific event, which all of the children and schools taking part enjoyed immensely. Importantly, it was also a great way of raising Deaf awareness and introducing people to sign language.
Leading deaf communications service Silent Sounds provided one of their BSL interpreters on stage at the Buckinghamshire event to interpret the proceedings. A great time was had by all.
