Watch: Deaf refugees in a foreign land (via BBC)

Posted on April 26, 2018 by



The BBC has released a great video about an Austrian group which helps Deaf refugees learn sign language. The video blurb says:

Many refugees face problems of isolation, but things can be particularly challenging for those who are deaf.

The Austrian organisation, Equalizent, based in Vienna, provides courses in sign language and written German for asylum seekers and refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran.

Some are learning sign language for the first time in their lives.
