SignWriting European Conference

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
September 2, 2009

Hello Maria!
That has already happened in 2005!

Read all about it on the web:

First European SignWriting Symposium
http://www.signwriting.org/europe/esws2005/

and you can see there have been other workshops too:

SignWriting in Europe
http://www.signwriting.org/europe/

Maybe you can help us setup a Second European SignWriting Symposium,  
Maria?

The First one in Brussels, Belgium, was coordinated by Kathleen Heylen  
and others...they did an excellent job and really worked terribly hard  
to make it all work so well...

Take a look at Kathleen's report afterwards...

and at all the wonderful people who attended -

Many thanks to everyone who made the First SW Symposium possible -

Val ;-)
