BSL : British Sign Language for Beginners with Lindsey – Part 3
Date: Wednesday, 28 February 2024
Time: 1:00PM - 2:00PM
Link: https://shorturl.at/dvGJX

Join Lindsey in this fascinating introduction to BSL where she will take you through the basics and the etiquette of BSL and prepare you for learning more vocabulary in further classes.

BSL is the preferred sign language used in the United Kingdom by the deaf community. Lindsey has been signing for 13 years and has been supporting deaf students in schools and has already had great success in supporting other WI groups through their BSL learning journey. Come along and start from the basics and work your way through her courses and perhaps join in our BSL socials to learn how to converse with other signers.

Zoom log in details will be included at the bottom of your confirmation email after you have registered.

Please note, this session will be recorded and available to view after the session within 48 hours of it taking place. You will be able to locate it under our Access Anytime courses list and you will be able to watch it flexibly in your own time for the subsequent 7 days.

This is what the WI is really about!

02/01/2024

WI Life is on the lookout for exciting and inspiring stories about our members. Do you or your WI have a big adventure planned for 2024? It could be a tough challenge you’ve overcome, or a new journey you’ve been on; a fascinating hobby, or achievement in your career; maybe you’ve done some great campaigning, or made a real difference in your community. If this sounds like you – or a WI friend – please get in touch.

All you have to do is send us a brief note at [email protected], with ‘INSPIRING WOMEN’ in the subject line. We’re always interested in hearing from women of colour, women of all ages, women living with disability, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. If you fancy being featured in WI Life, or know someone else that would be perfect for it, this is your chance – you might even make our front cover!
