The goal of the event was to see what people know about sign language. Also teach them some signs. We organised this event because we wanted to see how many people will be interested into different language without sound just with gestures.
Short description of the event: 
On March 20th – 27th we celebrate ExchangeAbility week. This week is created to raise awareness and to get more people involved in truly understanding the reality of the problems that disabled people have to face and encourage study mobility between students with disabilities.

Event went well, people were really excited and motivated to learn sign language, they were inspired when they got information about it, we learn some basic things about sign language and learned how to speak international sing language as we are international.
