This talk gave folks a hands-on journey into communication, showing how it’s more about feeling than just hearing or seeing, with a mix of stories, images, and activities from both Deaf and hearing participants.
We were taken through our own Sensewalk to expand our sense of connection to ourselves and the environment while delving into one of the most important aspects of human life – communication. A diverse collection of perspectives offered by Paula and Tiphaine through Deaf and hearing participants showcased how communication is felt, more than heard or seen. Communication was explored through a series of images, illustrations, stories, and hands-on activities.
