Join us at Newcastle Community Cinema for a free Introduction to Sign Language session led by John Carberry. Inspired by the powerful response to the documentary A Quiet Love and its exploration of Deaf life and relationships, this welcoming workshop offers an accessible starting point for anyone interested in learning British Sign Language.
With a focus on building awareness, confidence, and connection, the session is ideal for beginners and those curious about Deaf culture. Places are limited, creating an intimate and engaging learning environment.
This event also serves as a stepping stone for those who may wish to continue their learning with a follow-up course in June.
[ NB You can attend the free session and sign up for the 4 week course BUT these must be booked separately via the links below ]
Following the introductory session, this four-week British Sign Language course with John Carberry offers a deeper and more structured learning experience. Designed for beginners, the course will build on the basics, helping participants develop practical signing skills while gaining a greater understanding of Deaf culture and communication.
Delivered in a friendly and supportive environment at Newcastle Community Cinema, it's an ideal opportunity to continue your learning journey, build confidence, and connect more meaningfully with the Deaf community.
