This project is also a unique opportunity for educators, healthcare professionals and public service professionals to improve their skills and provide more inclusive care, especially to the deaf community.
What you will learn in the Libras course
Throughout the “Introduction to Libras” course, students will have access to comprehensive material, carefully prepared and taught by deaf teachers with specific training in the area.
These classes, which will be available online and can be accessed anywhere, offer in-depth content about Brazilian Sign Language and the importance of this language for the inclusion of deaf people in everyday life.
The main benefits of the course include:
- Learning Libras in a structured and accessible way;
- Possibility of independent study, at each student's pace, with recorded classes;
- Certificate of completion, guaranteeing recognition of training and expanding opportunities to work in inclusive areas.
According to information from the Escola da Inclusão, the course also serves to encourage greater understanding and appreciation of issues related to hearing impairment, in addition to promoting a space for training and awareness.
The student will be able to communicate in Libras, an important difference in a society that still lacks full accessibility.
The importance of Libras for an inclusive society
Learning Libras represents a significant step forward for social inclusion.
This course provides tools for students to become agents of change in their own communities, offering the possibility of fairer and more effective communication with the deaf community.
Furthermore, professionals who are proficient in Libras, such as educators, healthcare professionals and attendants, have the opportunity to offer more complete and humanized care, promoting a positive impact on access to essential services.
Fluency in Libras opens doors for those seeking to excel in different areas, as mastery of this language allows for effective and inclusive communication.
Brazil still faces major challenges in creating an accessible society, and projects like the Escola da Inclusão directly contribute to eliminating barriers.
School of Inclusion: mission and vision
The Inclusion School, linked to the State Secretariat for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of São Paulo, was created with the mission of providing an accessible educational space that welcomes people with and without disabilities, forming citizens engaged with the causes of accessibility.
For SEDPcD, this project is more than a course offering; it is a mission to make Brazil a more inclusive place, where respect and understanding are central values.
As highlighted by SEDPcD, the school is in tune with the fight for communication accessibility, employability and leadership for people with disabilities. The Libras course is part of a broader effort to transform society, training people to become active agents in promoting inclusion.
In this way, the “Introduction to Libras” course represents a significant advance towards a society where everyone can communicate and understand each other.
Those who learn Libras not only acquire a new skill, but become part of a movement that values diversity and inclusion.
This is an unmissable opportunity for those who wish to transform their own reality and contribute to the construction of a more egalitarian society.
How to Apply
For those who are interested, registration will be available from November 13th, at 10 am, at SEDPcD website.
Anyone who wants to learn Libras, promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities, can register.
The application form is easy to access and can be completed in just a few minutes. This is a great opportunity to be part of a movement that seeks a more inclusive and accessible society for all.
