Main activities Programme + Programme translation:
The project “Break the silence” is an integrative workshop that will bring together both deaf and
hearing adults. The main topic of the workshop will be culture in different points of view, through
which we would like to show that deaf and hearing worlds are alike. Culture is a great tool how to
integrate different groups of people and the workshop will be an innovative international learning
experience. The mix between the 2 worlds: people who cannot hear and the ones who can will be an
enrichment for all the participants and other people outside the group, breaking certain barriers and
prejudices. During the workshop, we will use creative pedagogical tools like theatre, music, poetry
and other cultural workshops in order to create a group dynamics, learn more about the cultures of
deaf and hearing people and to empower participants. We will also concentrate together on
intercultural learning. The non-verbal communication will be used as a working method and
international sign language will be taught to all the participants.
