We are starting a Brazilian Sign Language Program in Brazil next  
October 27th.
This course is an undergratuate course and have 447 Deaf students and 54
hearing. These students were selected from 3.176 people that applied  
for this
course. Nine states of the country are involved. It is the first  
course in
Brazil in this education level. I would like to know if there is this  
kind of
education around the world. I had found something in the Internet,  
but I would
be happy to have more information from other countries that can send  
to me
personally. The website of the course is www.libras.ufsc.br

Best,
