One year ago today was day one of the first Derby Signfest, how time flies. Future festival plans currently on hold but we will return!
Great opportunity with our partners at @DerbyTheatre
Watch the #BSL intro to the #DerbyCAN Artist Training Programme. We encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply and are committed to providing opportunities for people of colour, #Deaf or disabled people and people who identify as trans and gender diverse.

Hearing/Non signing followers. Ever said “I want to learn BSL, I just don’t have the time to commit to a weekly class” well now is your time to learn, in the comfort of your own home. FOR FREE! Also check out @thatdeafgirlkj who’s doing regular BSL videos to help people learn 👍
We’ve launched a free online course today for people to learn level one British Sign Language. We know lots of children and young people are at home and parents are looking for ways to keep them learning. It’s a great skill to have sign up here doncasterdeafsign.org.uk #bsl

But the biggest thanks of all goes to all the schools and people who attended the events in the festival. You are what make the festival. The aim of the festival was to celebrate #BSL & bring together Deaf & hearing communities, and I think we succeeded in that 💛 #DerbySignfest
