Group: Israeli Stuttering Association (AMBI)

Plan: Throughout October, AMBI will continue to lead the Campaign “Stuttering isn’t a Slur” – calling for clean election campaigns, without using the word “stutter” to refer to being hesitant or underqualified. Moreover, AMBI proudly joins the international initiative of the Declaration of the Right to Stutter.
The official International Stuttering Awareness Day event in Israel will take place on Sunday, October 23rd 2022 at “Harel” training center, HaHilazon 12, Ramat Gan, 18:30. On the Agenda: 

• Welcoming and mingling
