French Sign Language learning: new online pathway on Pasteur Learn

Monday September 23 is the International Day of Sign Languages, the ideal opportunity to sign up for an introductory course! As part of its commitment to people with disabilities, the Institut Pasteur is pleased to offer the Institut Pasteur a brand new training pathway in French Sign Language (FSL).

Available on the online training platform, Pasteur Learn, the pathway results from cooperation between the Disability Office, the Department of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and the Skills and Training Center in the Human Resources (HR) Department.

This online program, aimed at normal-hearing beginners to FSL, was designed by Fondation Voltaire and developed with and by hearing impaired experts. The self-learning course teaches the basics of communication in FSL.
