OUR ACTIVITIES

Greek Sign Language Centre regularly organises events such as talks, workshops and activities in which our students can participate.

Re-Sign: The innovative sign language training platform

Greek Sign Language Centre created a stand-alone platform for practicing Sign Language Language aimed at sign language learners regardless of school of study that will give a proficiency certification examination to successful candidates who wish to maintain their level of knowledge in sign language and to anyone who wants to refresh their knowledge in sign language!

The aim of Greek Sign Language Center’s activities is to give the opportunity to its students and the wider public to come into contact with aspects of the Deaf community and culture and to improve their sign language skills in a pleasant and constructive way!
