RSL Interpreters of CITS Receive Letters of Gratitude from the Regional Ministry of Education and Science

In May, out city saw the 5th Regional Championship of Astrakhan Region on professional skills among people with disabilities Abilimpix, where staff members of CITS volunteered as RSL interpreters, gained huge experience in organizing the event and communicating with deaf and hard of hearing people, and also performed a sign song on the stage of the Astrakhan State Theatre of Opera and Ballet. Most recently, they’ve received letters of gratitude signed by Minister of Education and Science of Astrakhan Region Egor Ugarov. 

It is not the first time the attendees of CITS courses have participated in events of this kind, and this is becoming a good tradition: our novice RSL interpreters gain experience, meet with native speakers, and provide barrier-free communication between hearing and deaf contestants. All this became possible thanks to their well-coordinated teamwork, thirst for new knowledge and, most importantly, the desire to help others.

We are extremely pleased that the efforts and contribution of CITS to the promotion of Russian Sign Language are not in vain, are commended by the regional authorities and gain their support.
