A group of Deaf actors give workshops to hearing people about Deafness, Deaf Culture, and Sign Language. The aim of the workshops is to create awareness about the life of Deaf people in Ethiopia and to teach basic skills in Sign Language and Non-Verbal Communication in a fun and educative way. The workshops are adjusted to different target groups like schools, government agencies, companies, and tourists.
Deaf Workshops for adults
We offer workshops for adults in different settings:
General workshops and tourists
We offer workshops about non verbal communication and sign language for everybody who is interested. The workshops offer a general introduction with deafness in Ethiopia, sign language and non verbal communication. Through fun and exciting assignments participants will be challenged to communicate without using their voice. We can organize the workshops at any time for any audience. We can adjust the workshop specifically for tourists with more emphasis on Ethiopian culture and history.
Team building program
We offer extensive team building programs for companies and all kinds of government and non government organizations. The participants will experience what it feels like to be deaf and through different ‘hands on’ assignments they will learn basic skills in sign language and non verbal communication, while bringing the team together in a fun and educative way.

Deaf Workshops for Children
In cooperation with SPARK Ethiopia we have adjusted the workshops to children, specifically in school settings. Our team of Deaf actors can visit schools to provide a 40 minute ‘deaf experience’ and present the basics of sign language and non verbal communication to the children, while creating positive awareness about Deafness, sign language, and Deaf Culture.
