Italian Sign Language awareness course

Volunteers and internationals students during the sign language course will have the opportunity to learn not only a new language (sign language even has its own grammar and syntax) but also a new culture. The deaf culture has some peculiarities that it is important to know in order to approach deaf people with greater sensitivity and more empathy. Volunteers and Erasmus people will have the chance to learn how to behave in the proper way the next time they meet a deaf person.  This is the goal of the activity: teach volunteers and Erasmus students the importance of understanding and of learning about minority cultures, in order to be a better citizen. Specifically, knowing diversity to know how to approach it in everyday life.
