How this project supported Ragdoll Foundation aims
An ambitious, strategic and developmental project led by and for d/Deaf people. The need for the intervention was well-articulated, and the trustees were convinced that it would promote equality of access to classic works of literature in an enjoyable and contemporary way. Working in British Sign Language and including the young people’s own creative response gave additionality to the project.
