Sign language serves as a vital tool in promoting inclusive education in the Kurdistan Region. Raising awareness among educators, particularly those in special education, is an essential step toward this goal.

In collaboration with the Medya Medical Organization, the Halabja Disabled Organization will conduct a comprehensive 10-day training program in sign language, specifically tailored for special education teachers within the General Directorate of Education in Halabja.

The training curriculum is based on the latest scientific methods and introduces educators to the unspoken world of the deaf community. Through this training, teachers will gain the ability to understand their students better and become proficient in using essential sign language codes.

This practical initiative represents a significant resource for special education teachers and marks the beginning of a transformative experience in the field of education.

Representatives from Halabja Disabled Organization and Medya Medical Organization visited the Halabja General Directorate of Education to strategize and implement joint initiatives aimed at advancing education in the region.
