Sign by side email format

We are Sign by Side, an organization founded by a group of high school students around the world. The name signifies our mission to bridge the gap between the hearing society and the deaf community through sign language. Through establishing this organization, our goal is to increase awareness and understanding of the culture and challenges faced by deaf society. We aim to foster mutual communication and learning, aiming to reconnect the deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals with the cultural fabric of the hearing community, rediscovering those 'voices' that have been 'unheard.' Operating across three countries, we have embarked on a mission to create a positive impact within our communities and beyond. Our journey began with on-ground initiatives aimed at raising awareness about sign languages and supporting the deaf community. We strongly believe in the power of inclusivity, and that belief drives us to organize community events that foster understanding and acceptance. In addition to our local efforts, we have harnessed the reach of online platforms to amplify our message globally. Through strategic use of social media, we engage with a wide audience, spreading awareness about sign languages and advocating for the rights and needs of the deaf community. Our online presence serves as a hub for valuable resources, educational content, and inspiring stories. A group of passionate youngsters from over 10 countries have united with a shared vision of promoting an inclusive environment for all. Together, we have successfully brought together a diverse group of more than 150 activists, working hand-in-hand with individuals both inside and outside of the deaf community. Through our collective efforts, we aim to create a world where everyone, regardless of their background or abilities, can thrive in an inclusive and supportive environment.
