This chapter is based upon a conversation with Outi Toura-Jensen, Filip Verhelst , and Ole Vestergaard, deaf teachers in the well-known and influential Denmark -based Frontrunners program (http://frontrunners.dk), an international deaf youth leadership training program (though its focus has recently changed and it is now a deaf international education program). The idea for Frontrunners came from a think tank in which Danish deaf youth participated and the initial goal of the program was to educate deaf participants to be leaders, lobbyists and activists in order to create a better world for deaf people (hence the name “Frontrunners”).
