ViduSign is a project funded by the European Commission to use video for teaching, learning, and communication for deaf and hard of hearing communities in Europe. The project aims to improve deaf culture and visual communication, raise employability, lower school dropouts, and improve literacy through the use of information and communication technologies. The project will explore video as a creative tool for communication, raise awareness of challenges faced by the deaf, empower deaf people, and produce 10 short videos, 6 creative discovery videos, online courses, workshops, and materials for training. Feedback will be gathered through piloting the materials.
