International Day of Persons with Disabilities  was also a special event day for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Persons of Armenia.

The French Armenian Development Foundation together with Orange Armenia launched the first Web Portal for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Persons in Armenian Sign Language.

The website will raise positive awareness of the cultural and linguistic aspects of the Deaf experience and will promote the exchange of information and experiences between the Deaf and Persons without Hearing problems communities.

The Educational, Cultural and Awareness video materials in Armenian Sign Language will enhance the teaching, learning and performance among 3,500 Deaf and Hard of Hearing Persons and their families in Armenia and contribute to Equality in Education.

The services provided by the WDC are in line with the Foundation’s “Dialogue-Training and Social Integration Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing persons” created in 2008 with the support of the European Union and AAAS.
