Tell me a story in LSA (Argentine Sign Language), the project in which elderly deaf adults meet face to face or virtually with deaf children to tell stories and share conversations in their language, Argentine Sign Language, ended its second stage.
On this occasion, a specially trained group of storytellers visited 4 schools and participated as storytellers in 6 new stories that will be disseminated through www.cuentoslsa.org.ar a free Internet site.
Although storytelling is one of the most important moments between parents and their children, this does not happen with deaf children, since hearing families (who represent 90% of the population) do not know sign language.
The direct contact with elderly deaf adults in schools for the deaf has been an excellent opportunity for little deaf children to interact with linguistic and cultural references that serve as models so that deaf children can be projected in the future.
Deaf children age 4 to 8 enjoyed this encounter, interacted in sign language with their elderly peers while participating in a cultural literary experience.
You are invited to watch and listen to these new stories! www.cuentoslsa.org.ar
