Past Events

Hear about Sarah's experience working closely with Deaf Aotearoa to promote the use of New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL), to help everyday Kiwis pick up a few signs and include them in their vocab’ … the more hearing Kiwis give signing a go, the more included the Deaf community feel. 

So, come along to discover the joy of learning a few basic signs, and to better understand the importance of accessibility in our marketing for our local and national Deaf community.
