WKO Veranstaltung: Einblicke in die Welt der Gehörlosen

Erster Tag der Sprachen 2023

Inclusion24 GmbH Presents Workshop on Deafness and Austrian Sign Language

On September 26, 2023, a remarkable event took place as the Austrian Economic Chamber (WKO) hosted the inaugural “Language Day.” One of the highlights of this event was a 30-minute workshop by Inclusion24 GmbH, titled “An Insight into the World of the Deaf.”


Addressing the complex topics of deafness and Austrian Sign Language within such a short time might seem like a challenge at first. However, the workshop’s participants were captivated and highly engaged throughout.

The curiosity and engagement of the audience were immediately evident. Everyone was open to exploring the world of the Deaf and the unique Austrian Sign Language. The workshop was an impressive journey into a culture often underestimated.

The goal was not only to present Austrian Sign Language itself but also to foster a deeper understanding of the realities faced by the Deaf community and the challenges they encounter. Participants took the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the importance of barrier-free communication.

In just 30 minutes, not all aspects of the Deaf world could be covered, but a significant insight was successfully provided. The Language Day 2023 will be remembered as a day of openness and shared learning.


The event emphasized the importance of diversity in our society and the need to overcome communication barriers. We are already looking forward to the next Language Day, where we can introduce even more people to the Deaf world and share the beauty of Austrian Sign Language.
