International Sign Webinar
September 23rd
100 euro
We will celebrate International Day of Sign Languages this September with a webinar on deaf culture, identity, and International Sign Language in Europe!
At EU and international level, international sign (IS) is increasingly being used. An international sign is also increasingly used in the web streaming of events and meetings. It also allows sign language users to participate at meetings and conferences where interpretation is provided in several spoken languages.
Alma Mujanović, who will conduct the webinar and who is hearing impaired, began actively engaging in human rights issues and participating in many fields of non-formal education and integration in the social environment. Currently, she is a member of many organizations, as well as the President and Co-Founder of Sign for Word (Znak za riječ) Association in Bosnia and Herzegovina whose Facebook page is a platform publishing daily videos featuring words in sign language that bring it closer to a larger community.
Learn how to:
- Making contact with the deaf in the world more quickly and why facial expressions are key
- Get to know a different world, a world of silence, and the culture of the deaf
- Most common basic expressions in IS
The exact time will be announced soon.
