Hi Polly,<br><br>
The conferences are indeed international. We usually have delegates from
around 20 countries from 5 continents. There is usually a mix of deaf and
hearing people. <br><br>
The medium of the conference is text, although there may be some
presentations on signed on video (with transcript) or Powerpoint
presentation (with speaker notes). The conference language is
English.<br><br>
Hope this helps and hope you can join us at the conference. Please
get back to me if you need more information.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font size=2>Dear Judith,<br>
I am currently working in Lima, Peru....volunteering
for a deaf advocacy program. As I write, this program is trying to
spearhead a bilingual/bicultural school (amid mostly oral deaf schools
and a state mandate for inclusion for all special needs kids into local
schools by 2012.)<br>
They are advocating for deaf teachers....yet
universities here won't even accept deaf students. They are advocating
for interpreter training...because there is none down here. <br>
<br>
I am trying to get information to the people, deaf and hearing, who are
trying to make life better for deaf people in Peru. So...I think the
online conference about the Bilingual/bicultural schools in Norway would
be of interest...and possibly other workshops as well. <br>
<br>
My question, how does the communication work for these conferences? Are
these at all international? Would deaf and hearing folks from Peru be
able to access these?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your response,<br>
Polly</font></blockquote>
