Meeting Description:
We are pleased to invite you to the SIGN-HUB project final event “All hands on deck! Sign languages and Deaf communities” that will take place at Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona) on March 25-26. During the past four years, the 10 institutions from seven countries participating in the SIGN-HUB research project, which was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, have created a sign language resource hub.
In the SIGN-HUB final event we will present the outcome of our research project and discuss with three panels of internationally renowned experts the right to sign language acquisition and education, the importance of Deaf memories as part of collective memories and the need for sign language research. The event also includes a keynote lecture by Prof. Bencie Woll (DCAL/UCL) and two cultural evenings: the premiere of the project documentary ''We were there, we are here'' about the memories of elderly signers across Europe, and the theater play ''La Tríada'' in Catalan Sign Language, on three women that made history.
