Jack Klem was born Deaf. And at just 12 years of age, he is about to represent Australia on the world stage.
Jack is one of a handful of young Australians who has been chosen to attend the International Deaf Leadership Camp in Argentina in 2018. This prestigious event only takes place every four years – places are limited and competition is fierce. Only the brightest are selected to attend the conference.
This is where young Deaf people learn to be leaders. They are given world-class leadership training and mentoring. For all of the participants, this will be their first experience of international sign language. This is a crucial introduction that will open up study and work opportunities on a larger scale. It will also be the first time many of the participants will be in the company of Deaf children from other countries.
“I am Jack Klem and I am 12 years old. I am proudly Deaf. I love Doctor Who, Pokémon Go and Minecraft! I go to Shenton College Deaf Education Centre but I’m in mainstream classes. It’s an awesome school because it has lots of friends and lots of interpreters! I love to cook and video gaming. I’m excited about going to Argentina next year to the Deaf camp! — Jack”
