Goal of the event:
ESN Minho organized this activity in order to raise worlwide awareness of the cause ExchangeAbility project defends. It was launched an online format to reach out as many people as possible.
Short description of the event:
ESN Minho during the ExchangeAbility week organized an activity called "Inclusion is...". Through this activity ESN Minho challenged all international students and ESNers all over the world to record a video of themselves saying a word in sign language that explained what was for them the concept of "inclusion". It was asked, by using a computer, a phone or whatever that could record a video of them, after having the video recorded, to uplouad it on the event page. At the same time it was requested to tag someone(s) on the publication to do the same thing. ESN Minho found a website that could help the participants recording the video: a website that teaches sign language (https://www.spreadthesign.com/pt/). As sign language is not universal, it was asked, if possible, to search the word(s) in portuguese sign language.
How did your event go?:
The feedback was incredibly good. In the end ESN Minho compiled all the videos posted on the event in one video (https://www.facebook.com/esnminho/videos/1535888683107021/)
We believe that the website we recomended to learn the words in sign language is good but next time we should do a better research about it. It was not possible to find all the words there and even the ones there are not all available in portuguese.
