A first step into Italian Sign Language (LIS): the alphabet, basic signs, how to introduce yourself and how to communicate with your body and eyes. No previous knowledge of LIS is needed: we start from scratch.
Dates
Five sessions at Casa Naqah, on Saturdays from 3 to 6 pm:
- Saturday 21 November 2026
- Saturday 28 November 2026
- Saturday 5 December 2026
- Saturday 16 January 2027
- Saturday 23 January 2027
Once the group is formed, we will decide together whether Friday or Saturday works better.

The course prepares the E-LIS-LAB group, the Erasmus+ project with YouthMed APS in Lecce and the Fondazione Istituto dei Sordi in Turin. By signing up you join the full programme:

Five people will travel, so we ask you to attend every session and every stage.
