PANCAKE Project Showcase

Join us for our final event on 30th of June as we reach the conclusion of our Erasmus+ Project PANCAKE (Plants And Nature Conveying Augmented Knowledge for Everyone).

During this free event, we will showcase the project’s Intellectual Outputs with the aim of improving the inclusion of the Deaf community in accessing nature and with the design of inclusive public spaces. You may have been following our Plant of the Month series on our social media and the website which has been featuring specific plants chosen for the creation of new signs by, and for, the deaf community. This time round we will be viewing the official signs created for each one.

The staff of nature reserves/heritage sites and members of the deaf community are especially encouraged to attend.

Refreshments will be served together with a small gift for all participants. Please register by filling in the form below. If you have any questions, feel free to contact sabela@foemalta.org or annalise@foemalta.org.

These will include the enhancement of five national sign languages by creating a sign for plants which are found in the four countries, creating videos to learn the new signs and short sign language documentaries, a manual of best architectural practices for inclusion and accessibility in public spaces and the adaptation of the material into online interactive content for
