<x-rich>February 24, 1999 Hello All! Just a quick note to tell you that this weekend, February 25-28, SignWriting will be presented (in a casual fashion) at a sign language workshop in Klagenfurt, Austria. Our organization donated one set of SignWriting videos to be shown at the workshop, plus handouts that teach the basic handshapes and movement arrows. The literature will be distributed to approximately 100 workshop participants. The workshop is being held at the University of Klagenfurt's Research Center for Sign Language and Communication. Here is a description, written by Franz Dotter: __________ "The EU-workshop we are organizing under the guidance of the Austrian Deaf Association for February, 25 - 28, 1999 is aimed at giving a comprehensive survey of deaf-related research, projects, and initiatives. Each EU-country may send four to five representatives (plus sign language interpreters). The deaf participants should report on the national situation of the deaf and the deaf or hearing scientists should give a general summary of research on deaf topics or present specific scientific projects. All presentations have to focus on results which have practical applications. >The suggestions, requests and wishes of the deaf, collected in the course of the workshop, will be summarized in a final document and passed on to the European Commission as well as to the individual EU-countries as concrete recommendations." __________ So that is the most recent news.... I am still printing books for New Mexico, but I am getting there!! Talk to you later :-)</x-rich> Valerie :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton SignWriting https://www.SignWriting.org The DAC, Deaf Action Committee for SW Center For Sutton Movement Writing an educational nonprofit organization Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||||||||||||
