Federal Institute of Brasília (IFB) Launches Free Courses in Basic 2 and Intermediate Brazilian Sign Language, Strengthening Inclusion and Accessibility in Education.
In an increasingly connected world, communication plays a fundamental role in promoting inclusion and accessibility.
The Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) emerges as an essential tool for integrating the deaf community into society, enabling more effective and equitable interaction.
Recognizing this need, the Federal Institute of Brasília (IFB) launches an initiative aimed at training individuals interested in learning Libras, strengthening communicative ties and promoting linguistic diversity.

On February 19, 2025, the IFB published Notice 2/2025, announcing the opening of registrations for in-person courses in Basic 2 Libras and Intermediate Libras.
These courses are free and intended for both the general public and employees of the Department of Education of the Federal District (SEEDF), as established in the Cooperation Agreement No. 03/2021 between the IFB and the Government of the Federal District (GDF).
Registrations can be done online until March 31, 2025, providing an accessible opportunity for all interested in enhancing their communicative skills and promoting social inclusion.
Why Is Learning Libras So Important?
Brazilian Sign Language is recognized as a legal means of communication and expression by Law No. 10.436/2002.
Learning Libras allows more people to interact with the deaf community, breaking down barriers and promoting a more accessible and inclusive environment.
In Brazil, it is estimated that more than 10 million people have some degree of hearing impairment, with about 2.7 million experiencing severe hearing loss.
This scenario highlights the need for greater dissemination of Libras, to ensure that communication between deaf and hearing individuals is natural and efficient.
Understanding Libras not only enhances social inclusion but can also be a differentiator in the job market.
Professionals trained to communicate in this language have more opportunities in areas such as education, public service, health, and public administration, where communicational accessibility is an increasingly valued differentiator.
Details of the Courses Offered by IFB
For those wishing to improve their communication in Libras, the IFB is offering two in-person courses lasting four months.
The courses have been designed to cater to both beginners and those who already possess prior knowledge, allowing for a natural progression in learning the language.
