Introduced in the wake of the recognition of the Italian Sign Language (LIS) and the Tactile LIS (LISt) by the Italian State, this course aims to bring those who participate closer to the world of the LIS and the LISt; a world in which communication passes through a different channel from the one we usually associate with (spoken) languages: the visual/tactile/textual channel. 

Lecturer responsible: Danilo Monteverde
