Nar continues to
support individuals with disabilities and, in partnership with the
"Support for the Deaf" Public Association, organized a meeting with
students from Special Boarding School No. 3 as part of International Sign
Language Week. During the event, the electronic sign language dictionary,
jestdili.az, which was developed with Nar’s support and aims to promote
inclusivity, was introduced.
The event provided
students with speech and hearing impairments, as well as their classmates, with
detailed information on the general functionality of the website and its
user-friendly search system, designed to facilitate communication using the
jestdili.az dictionary. The session, held in a discussion format, also included
a Q&A segment where students' queries were addressed.
As the country’s
first electronic sign language dictionary, jestdili.az enables individuals with
speech and hearing impairments and their families to learn Azerbaijani sign
language online, anytime, anywhere, free of charge. Constantly evolving, the
electronic dictionary currently offers video explanations for over 4,000 words
and more than 500 phrases commonly used in daily life. It is noteworthy that in
2023, Nar’s jestdili.az project was awarded first place in the "Best
Corporate Responsibility" category by the International Public Relations
Association (IPRA).
