[Sw-l] Announcing the SignWriting Symposium 2024

Mon Jul 3 03:18:35 UTC 2023

Hello everybody!
Wow!
What a wonderful new!
I look forward to participating in this event.
The dates are excellent for the Brazilian community.
One question, should the presentation of the video be in English? Should it
be accessible in ASL? What are the guidelines in this regard?
Thank you very much for everyone's attention!
Hugs!
