Anpeda federation

What is it?

It is a network that provides particularly useful information for teachers working with deaf students active in France.

Why is it important? / How can it help the professionals of the cultural sector?

It can help cultural professionals through their collaborations with specialised educational centres/ associations whose beneficiaries are mainly deaf people or persons with hearing impairment. In order to understand the specific needs of the deaf audience, cultural professionals need in their turn specialized training and tight cooperation with the educators of deaf people.
