Basics of Egyptian Sign Language

Basics of Egyptian Sign Language workshop will introduce the participants to the Egyptian sign language and its functions, correcting misconceptions about the deaf and people with hearing disabilities. It will also highlight the culture of the deaf, training the participants on how to sign the Arabic alphabet and greetings, introducing family, religion, governorates, countries, and adjectives that express different emotions so that they can maintain a conversation with the deaf using complete sentences.
