Project Summary

Let’s talk… is a capacity building project in the field of youth. The main goal of the project is social inclusion of deaf young people into the hearing society. During the implementation of the project various activities will be provided through project partnerships with Accident Time (United Kingdom), Chengdu School of Special Education (China), Kabitaka School (Zambia), Kumut Chandruang Fundation (Thailand) and Društvo ustvarjalcev Taka Tuka (Slovenia). The target group of this project are young people with hearing and communicating limitations, their hearing peers and youth workers, teachers, specialists who work with them and the institutions which work with those groups of young people. The project is focused on decreasing the communication and integration problems that deaf and hard of hearing young people encounter and on raising knowledge about deaf culture and deafness. The important result of the project will be the research about deaf culture. Deaf Asian, African and European young people are going to be interviewed with the questions designed by hearing young people. Their answers will be evaluated, compared, identified, measured, analysed and after that published in the book. Another product of the project will be game for learning about culture differences, deaf signs and words about cultures and countries.With the knowledge of the individual continents, countries and their culture, language and mode of communication youngsters can learn about values of solidarity, ability to work in a team, a potential of shared decision-making, creativity, flexibility and responsibility.Learning via games, art and theatre turned out as very effective way of learning for deaf students. The good thing about Drama in Education is that it is universal and it can be used in formal and non-formal education; for learning all kinds of subjects from math to languages. It is also very useful for the social integration. Training courses and two conferences will be implemented to promote and develop Drama in Education method.
