Acting4DHH II: Deaf-Hearing collaboration through citizen social science

Acting4DHH II is a project ideated by Web2Learn, in collaboration with 4 Deaf associations in Europe, namely the Greek Deaf Association, the Polish Deaf Association, the Slovakian Deaf Association ANEPS and the Ukrainian organisation “Vidchui” that works with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing communities.

About the project:
The aim of the project is to raise awareness on Deaf-Hearing individuals’ collaboration barriers and opportunities, thus improving social wellbeing of Deaf communities. In Acting4DHH II, citizen social science is manifested through the mapping of Deaf-Hearing collaboration in the form of 10-seconds (max) videos.

In this framework, we called on Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing citizens across Europe to collect videos that depict their daily interactions/collaboration with Hearing citizens. This collection of videos aims to raise awareness of the need for inclusion and empowerment of DHH citizens; empowerment that comes as a result of collective efforts, solidarity and community bonding between Deaf and Hearing individuals.

Results:
We collected 32 videos from Deaf and Hearing individuals in Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine! You can check the videos here: https://web2learn.eu/acting4dhh-ii/videos/
