Application for learning Serbian Sign Language made for the project “The Right to Information – and we have the right to know” organized by the Center for Society for Orientation in collaboration with ATSZJ, GOGB, Sluzba, EU delegation and Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia.

The main goal of the application was to make learning Serbian Sign Language available to as many people as possible. The app lists all the letters of the alphabet and numbers in separate modules. Alongside the application, a SZJ website was launched to promote the application and give insight into the project.

The largest part of the app is the dictionary where the user can search and select a word or a phrase they wish to learn. The videos used in the app were specifically optimized for the mobile network and view. Beside this, the app also contains the full UNCRPD (Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) that can be viewed in sign language, with the text listed below the video. Another inclusion to the app are the interviews with members of the community, talking about their life experiences.

The project lasted for a year and the app was a part of it as an additional means of learning alongside the e-learning platform that the Center for Society of Orientation has set up. To further promote the app, we have created a one page website talking a little bit about the project itself and linking to all the participating societies and companies.
