Nar meets with students with special needs as part of International Sign Language week

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).
