WRITING SIGN LANGUAGES Workshop - Interest

[SignWriting]

SignWriting List
September 4, 2009

Hello Ingvild, Charles, Adam, Kim and Kelly Jo!

Of course I will be happy to post any announcements of workshops or  
seminars on our web sites...no problem!

I just posted the information about the workshops in Lisbon next week...

Take a look at the Special Feature on the SignWriting Site:

SignWriting Site
http://www.SignWriting.org

In the case of the SignWriting workshops in Lisbon next week, the  
reason they got setup is that there is a Linguistic Conference and  
Adam will be presenting a paper there, and the University paid the way  
for the participants. So once we knew that the way was paid, those at  
the University who were already interested in SignWriting decided to  
setup more workshops and presentations for Adam that week...so without  
the University's funding and interest, none of this would have  
happened...

So maybe contacting teachers of ASL at various schools in the  
Washington DC area, to find out if they are interested, could be a  
start...then maybe funding can be found through the school itself...

Val ;-)
