Besides the secondary Kentalis Guyotschool in Groningen, the Exchange participants also visited the primary Auris Dr. M. Polanoschool in Rotterdam. One of the Dutch Deaf teachers is Lilly De Carpentier- Tashman, who was born and raised in Jordan, before she came to Holland. She taught a special lesson in English using American Sign Language (ASL), together with a hearing teacher.

The school prepared an extensive program with information about Sign Language, bimodal/bilingual education and Deaf identity. The presentation about inclusivity in the education system was a very important and valued topic. This is exactly what the group needs: ideas supported with practical examples. And we still have two other schools to visit.
