𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛 𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦!🖐🏼📢 Ever felt like communication was more than just words? In the Philippines, sign language isn’t always a part of our classrooms, but we’re here to change that! The Alpha Phi Omega Gamma Pi Futures proudly presents 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗮, a 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙤 𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙣 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙖𝙜𝙚 (𝙁𝙎𝙇) and 𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙛 𝘾𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 & 𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙮 Workshop! As students of the University of the Philippines Baguio, we know the power of language. Now, it's time to take that knowledge a step further and learn how to communicate inclusively with our Deaf community. By joining this workshop, you will gain a foundational understanding of FSL as a distinct language while debunking common myths about sign communication. Our expert instructors will guide you through the FSL alphabet, basic greetings, and survival signs, eventually enabling you to perform self-introductions and engage in short, basic conversations. Beyond the technical skills, you will develop a deeper sense of Deaf Culture and Sensitivity, ensuring your communication is both effective and respectful.
