Deaf Hub Collaboration

In 2021 (Sept-Nov) Frontline Children were honoured to support a UK Foreign & Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) sponsored project to deliver a Train the Trainer (T3) programme to 12 officially qualified Djiboutian teachers in British Sign Language (BSL) methodology and principles, in Djibouti City.  The project aim was to begin the process to open-up education to children with hearing disabilities and address some of the stigma which prevents fair treatment.  Frontline Children partnered with Northamptonshire based ‘The Deaf Hub’, providing 2 instructors for 4 weeks, to deliver a Level 3 BSL training course.  The project was a huge success receiving Presidential support, much appreciation from their Ministry of Education, UK FCDO, and an invitation to return in 2022 to deliver continuation training.
