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.

You can find the detailed program and other practical information about the
SIGN-HUB final event here: https://www.upf.edu/web/sign-hub/acte-de-cloenda
Participation is free, but you are required to register via this link:

be streamed here: https://www.upf.edu/retransmissions/campus-poblenou

You are warmly invited to join us. The more hands on deck, the better!
