Turkish Sign Language Training – The Language of Fingers Project Is Back!

The Language of Fingers Project Is Back!

Dear ÖzÜ Community,

The Language of Fingers Project, which has been organized as part of the Duyarlı ÖzÜ Volunteering Program since the 2018–2019 Academic Year, is back this year in collaboration with the Şişli Association for People with Hearing and Speech Disabilities!

We invite all students and staff members who would like to explore a different world of communication by learning Turkish Sign Language (TİD), raise awareness about communicating with deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, and contribute to a more inclusive society to join our training program.

Following the Turkish Sign Language training sessions, we will welcome deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to our campus for an interactive sign language workshop during the final session. This will give participants the opportunity to put what they have learned into practice and communicate directly with deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals.
