Breaking Barriers: Uklon & hromadske’s Initiative

hromadske’s dedicated team has carefully crafted a special project centered around sign language in cooperation with Uklon. Drivers with hearing loss were involved to talk about their job and ‘uncomfortable’ questions from passengers. So, an article was created with a story about sign language and people with hearing loss. A flagship element of the project is an animated sign language vocabulary – an innovative tool enabling everyone to learn essential phrases for effective communication.
