The project Talking Hands aims to develop and promote sign language courses through electronic tools, addressed mainly to relatives, friends and colleagues of deaf persons. These courses will be available on the project platform for everyone without any restrictions and at any time anyone will be able to have access to relevant material that will help him to gain basic knowledge of sign language for the topic of interest. The aim of the project is to increase the sense of belonging of people with hearing impairment by providing to their surroundings the possibility to learn basic sign language concepts in order to overcome any communication barriers between the two sides.
