Talking Hands: Online Platform for Learning Sign Language

Project Ref. №: 2022-1-IT02-KA220-ADU-000088507

Programme: Erasmus+

Project website: https://www.prismonline.eu/talking-hands/

“Talking Hands” aims to develop an open, flexible online platform for everybody who would like to learn basic elements of sign language. Although there are specialised schools that offer sign language lessons to relevant stakeholders, there is a lack of learning materials freely available online, as most of them are in books and this is not easy because one needs to see the signs a teacher is making through motion to comprehend them. Hence, the provision of lessons of sign languages needs to be improved, especially for adults who are relatives or friends of a deaf person and cannot afford to take full time formal education sign language lessons, or for deaf persons who seek non-formal education resources. In this regard, it is important to note that our platform will not be addressed to interpreters or other experts who have formal learning opportunities available.

Activities aimed at activating blind people in non-formal education are a popular trend related to the implementation of the tasks of accessibility of culture and public facilities. Using culture and its reception as an external stimulus, we involved blind and visually impaired people in activities related to the interpretation and accessibility of cultural heritage. These people, under the guidance of their mentors, acquired not only historical, but also spatial knowledge about the heritage site in question. These individuals then became “guides” for sighted audiences to show them a completely different perspective on how cultural heritage is viewed. This program is still a new item in the educational offer of the SWD, which is in the testing and improvement phase, also it is necessary to expand knowledge and learn about new tools and methodologies in this sphere.

Within the framework of the “Invisible Heritage…” program, there will be language courses and preparatory training, as well as trips, so-called job shadowing, which will be aimed at observing the work of foreign institutions that have knowledge and many years of experience in acting for the activation of blind and visually impaired people. Such trips will allow us to increase the quality, substantive value and influence the attractiveness of future programs implemented by SWD.
