European Union of the Deaf. (2004, September). The Union of the Deaf in Bulgaria celebrates its 70th Anniversary. History goes back to the distant 1898 when the German Deaf pedagogue Ferdinand URBIH arrives in Bulgaria and lays the basis of the education of Deaf children. An eminent Bulgarian socially active man Dr. Stoyan BELINOV follows him and supports and enables the unification of hearing impaired persons. On his initiative the Society for the protection of the Deaf-Mute in Bulgaria is established, and on 12 July 1934 the constituent assembly of the Society of the Deaf-Mute in Bulgaria was held and attended by 61 delegates from around the country. The present Union of the Deaf in Bulgaria is its successor.
