Background
In order to promote the capabilities of deaf people to employers in ways that meet the aspirations of the deaf people, this project focused on generating new knowledge about solving the inequalities associated with deaf people. We aimed to then share that knowledge with deaf people and stakeholders (especially employers).
The project involved the following:
Outcomes
Key Recommendations
The dissemination will be aimed at people in the local context and those researching the role of education in sustainable development outside the region. Knowledge gained from the project will contribute to understanding of the social, health and economic barriers that deaf people face in the region, and in other deaf communities that face similar challenges. The research will engage critically with literature on the relationships between sign language, sustainable development and equal opportunities.
