The aim of the Sign Languge Playground Youth Camp is for young people to get to know a world where the way of communication is different but natural. We provide nonformal, improvisation-based, inclusive group activities where Deaf and hearing people can play together.
​
At the Sign Language Playground, we have created opportunities for full communication, free movement, independence, initiative and joint play, relying on a language that is a mother tongue and identity for the Deaf and a new world for the hearing.
