Any way you sign it, we each have a part in building inclusive communities for all. This International Day of Sign languages, tell us what that means for you. #ConnectBeyondWords #IWDP #IDSL SignVideo | Sorenson

"Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory" - Human Rights Declaration, Article 26.
