"Worldwide, one in every 1,000 students is deaf, in Europe-28 that represents close to 500,000 deaf people who are trying to gain access to knowledge & employment. However, this community suffers from a lack of inclusion: 80% of the deaf are illiterate & have a lot of difficulties to find a job (the employment rate is 71% for people with slight deafness, 59% with middle deafness, & only 34 % for people with deep deafness). This shows the importance of instilling a wide breadth of knowledge early on, to ensure that STUDENTS-YOUTH WITH DEAFNESS or HEARING IMPAIRMENT have as much opportunity to receive knowledge & information & to become responsible citizens.However, the dissemination of existing information adapted to the deaf audience is seriously deficient for deaf adults & dramatically non-existent for deaf students-youth. This prevents deaf people from accessing information & this is even more critical at school, where teachers are unable to use pedagogical content adapted to their deaf students.Existing material uses content too rich in text (with sentences often long & complicated to be easily understood by deaf children) & videos are containing voice-overs & subtitles. This has the effect of demotivating many deaf children in school learning. This has the effect of demotivating many deaf pupils in school learning.deAf DigitAl PlaTform (ADAPT) project aims to develop the first e-magazine adapted to deaf adolescents. We focus on pupils between 13 to 21 years old. Indeed, it is the age range when students learn how to become independent & how to advocate & the needs become crucial.With pedagogical elements that are easily understood by deaf students, we want to support teachers to nurture students' interest in school learning, to open deaf adolescents to the world, to arouse their curiosity, to develop their knowledge & to give them the means to communicate with their environment, including their family. What then allow them to improve their learning performance & to enhance their access to abstract concepts & reading potentialities.The e-magazine will be proposed in two different & complementary media:•a web site to gather all the available contents (combined with a search engine)•an enriched digital magazine with a structured & editorialized content, sent through subscription & readable offline.Information will be proposed through written texts (in English & in the national languages of the different partners) & videos using sign language (with a specific usage of the International Sign IS).We intend to use interactive potentialities of web site & e-book to propose unprecedented content for deaf adolescents (culture, educational games & activities to make by themselves), along with educational sheets than can be used by teachers & family members: •6 Thematic topics (e.g. History, Biology, Human Rights, introduction to STEAM…)•12 Educational games using 3 different game engines (e.g. Memory, MCQ video…)•36 Manual activities videos (e.g. cooking, scientific experience, creative activities, magic trick, discovering sports rules…)The ADAPT project brings together 6 complementary specialized partners; members of HIPEN (the European Network for Professionals working with People with Hearing Problems) :• ""11th May"" is one of the oldest state special education institution in Serbia and Yugoslavia, and the fourth special educational school for children with hearing and speech impairments.• Since more than 200 years, Istituto dei Sordi di Torino - IST is specializing in providing a wide range of services and activities to people who are deaf, hard of hearing or deafblind.• Liceul Tehnologic Special pentru Deficienti de Auz (Cluj-Napoca, Romania), an institute that works with about 200 deaf students, from kindergarten to high school.• Specjalny Osrodek Szkolono-Wychowawczy dla Nieslyszacych (Kraków, Poland) an institution that educates young people who are deaf & hearing impaired.• Educational Center for Deaf & Hard of Hearing of Lithuania (Vilnius, Lithuania), a public educational institution providing education from pre-school to upper secondary stages for the hearing impaired students.- GAUDEM, a school which embraces special & mainstream education for deaf & hearing students for over 40 years.Deaf students between 13 to 21 are estimated at 37,000 in EU-28, 16,000 in the 6 countries of the partners (Serbia, Lithuania, Italy, Romania, Spain &Poland). During the program, we aim at gathering:•2,000 ebook subscribers•5,000 Facebook fans•300 public bodies, associations, schools, educational institutions, public libraries•15 contributors who will create new contentsADAPT is designed to function independently at the end of the project. By developing an easy-to-use platform & by providing detailed explanatory sheets explaining step by step how to create & upload autonomously new contents, we expect contributors & users to appropriate the platform& make it live."
