ABOUT THE PROJECT
WHAT?
Basically, the project has two goals:
- first, it wants to include the Deaf community in music as a way to socialize, communicate, boost emotional well-being, and encourage creativity.
- Secondly, it aims to improve the skills of adult educators and make music professionals more aware of the need for inclusive music events.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
WHY?
Deafness is often an invisible disability, making Deaf people feel left out of parts of social and cultural life, including music.
The D.E.M.O.O. project was created after realizing that there aren’t enough services to help Deaf people experience and enjoy music at events, concerts, and festivals.
This is why the D.E.M.O.O. project aims to give Deaf adults a chance to connect with music through a special, non-formal learning program designed just for them.
