Description
Our initiative, “Building Bridges for Deaf Leaders of Tomorrow,” led by Deaf educators and Deaf Fulbright scholars at Gallaudet, aims to integrate Bulgarian Sign Language (BGSL) into STEM education in Bulgaria for Deaf students. This initiative has been driven by the recently recognized Bulgarian Sign Language Act. Deaf leaders, Deaf Bulgarian Sign Language Teachers, and Deaf linguists have been creating authentic Bulgarian Sign Language Resources, advocating for Deaf-led materials and Deaf-centric pedagogies that will fit the needs of Deaf Bulgarian children, educators, and interpreters.
