”Sign Through TheWorld” is a trilateral project with Poland, Italy and a partner we are looking for :). The activities are mainly concentrated on getting to know each other’s countries and understanding their cultures. This project is also a chance for the deaf youngsters to broaden
their opportunities not only witin their future job but also within the influence they have on their peers and the deaf and hearing society that is interested in the sign language. Young participants will learn techniques of creating sign language dictionaries and through the methods of non formal education they will get to know the history, goegrafy, habits and culture of the partner countries. As the main result of the project there will be a sign language dictionary created. It will include the sign languages
of partners, also their phonic languages and phonic English. This dictionary entitled ”Our Countries, Our Europe” will include
vocabulary associated with the main topic of the project <history, geography, culture> and European Union vocabulary.
