Project Summary

The aim of the project is to create educational sets using the method of debates, prepared to suit the preferred way of teaching deaf people. The project will create 30 “packages” consisting of a short film introducing the topic of debate, lesson outline, set of questions to students and content for teachers.
These tools will be comprehensive and complementary to the learning content of deaf people with impaired language communication, as well as apatics, adolescents with auditory processing disorders and central hearing impairment. The project will be tested and implemented in special schools and integration facilities, it will serve to equalize opportunities by shaping attitudes open to the world and society. This task will be to eliminate barriers and backwardness and strongly stimulate the resourcefulness, activity, commitment, ingenuity and creativity of people with hearing impairments.
