A briefing for anyone wanting to cover International Stammering Awareness Day, 22nd October. STAMMA are handing in a petition of 25,000 signatures to the BBC and ITV that day calling for representation in the media.
Ticketing has now closed for STAMMAFest Global, with over 300 delegates expected to attend. Among the discussions taking place will be 'Is there beauty in stammering?', creating change (tackling discrimination) through litigation, and how to encourage employers to create a better working environment. Speakers include Actor and podcaster Scroobius Pip and poet Owen Sheers.
​Stammering made headline news last night as Stamma member and reporter Felicity Baker made her debut report for BBC News, with an item about stammering and Joe Biden.
