SignWriting in Poland Deaf schools ...new project

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
October 6, 2010

Hello Lucy!
Welcome back to the SignWriting List...;-)

Thank you for your suggestion on an international sign for Wikipedia. Can you write it for us in SignWriting and post it to the List? It is hard for me to imagine signs without seeing them written in SignWriting...

So SignWriting will now be used in schools for the deaf in Poland?

I am interested to learn more about the project...can you tell us a little more? What ages?...how many schools? Are you starting by training teachers?

Val ;-)
