Deaf Connect’s ‘Traffic Signs’ campaign celebrates deaf culture, via goa
Social impact and whole-of-life service provider, Deaf Connect, is raising awareness of sign language via its ‘Traffic Signs’ campaign.
The campaign coincides with National Week of Deaf People (NWDP) – an initiative from Deaf Australia (an information and advocacy body focusing on the deaf community) that seeks to celebrate Auslan – the country’s national sign language – and deaf culture.
NWDP runs from September 23 to September 29, with the former date doubling as International Day of Sign Languages – a period of time that acknowledges sign language’s diversity and the 300-plus official sign languages used today.
