ABOUT THE PROJECT:

DEAF ROLE MODELS : Videogallery
To spotlight Deaf Role Models & companies (best practice examples in the workplace) is the best and most self-determined way to bring information about Deaf Awareness to the employment sector. The video portraits give impressions of a variety of jobs, because: “Deaf can do anything – except hear!”

DEAF-YOUTH-TOOLKIT: Icebreakers - Sign Language Lexicon, Communication Guidelines, Youth Portraits
“Nothing about us – without us”: Young Deaf people share tips and tricks for successful communication in the workplace and show important signs for everyday working life.

NETWORKING MAP: Best practice examples
Networking with organisations of the employment sector as well as organisations of the Deaf Community is essential to build sustainable bridges to work for Deaf Youths’ entry in the regular job market and is a major part of the project. S4H establishes a NETWORKING MAP (Brochure) with a range of portraits and reports of Deaf Role Models, organisations and companies for promoting und supporting the “Deaf-friendly workplace”.

ENCOUNTER & DIALOGUE: Workshops and manual for companies
S4H develops and carries out workshops for companies. and provides an overview of relevant service centres for labour market inclusion in Austria, Bulgaria and Slovenia. Country-specific manuals for the implementation of the workshops including a service section with useful information tips and links, are also developed.
