SIGN - Learning partnership for sign language education
The SIGN learning partnership would improve the present sign language and deaf education/training system in Europe.
The project partners will form a common platform for discussion and exchange of information on present and new
methods of sign language training and educating deaf adults.
Specific goals:
Conduct an intensive research and assess the current schemes to train sign language interpreters, comparing the training
of foreign language interpreters and to the training of sign language interpreters, examine the barriers of training
opportunities of deaf people and sign language interpreters and the vocational training provisions. Collect and spread
the best practices available in Europe.Develop a new training method for sign language interpreter’s training together
with a curriculum ready for accreditation.Create an information portal that will enable to exchange information between
all stakeholders, and provide a basis for future e-mentoring and e-learning solutions. Assist the communication between
the deaf and people at public administration (local governments, ministries, etc) so that deaf people would be able to
arrange their official affairs without any problem. Target groups: Sign language interpreters and people with hearing
difficulties
