Final event

All hands on deck: sign languages and Deaf communities

SIGN-HUB project final event. Barcelona, March 25-26, 2020

 

After four years of hard work, the Horizon 2020 project SIGN-HUB, is coming to an end. To showcase the main results of the project, and to discuss the further implications of our research, we invite you to join the closing event "All hands on deck! Sign languages and Deaf communities", which will take place at UPF in Barcelona on March 25-26. It will feature three thematic round tables with Deaf and hearing researchers and stakeholders on the right to sign language acquisition and education, the importance of Deaf memories as part of collective memories and the need for sign language research. Prof. Bencie Woll (DCAL, UCL, London) will deliver a keynote lecture about the past, present and future needs of sign language research. The event also includes two cultural evenings: the premiere of the project documentary  "We were there, we are here" about the memories of elderly signers across Europe, and the theater play "La Tríada" in Catalan Sign Language, on three women that made history. You are warmly invited to join us! The more hands on deck, the better!
