Case Study: The Old Fire Station Oxford
In 2022, we worked with Oxford-based theater and arts center The Old Fire Station. Already committed to supporting diversity and inclusion, the creative arts venue were keen to garner a better understanding of D/deaf culture and sign-users generally.
We ran an after-hours Deaf Awareness workshop for their team as a 3 hours CPD event, and following the training many staff members joined us for our Level 1 and Level 2 BSL Sign Language training held at the venue for the general public.
