Bringing Deaf Stories to Life

Have you ever read a book with deaf characters? Wish there were more stories with deaf heroes? Join us for an afternoon of storytelling with Luigi Lerose, a Deaf children’s writer!

This is your opportunity to create the stories you wish you could read. In this interactive workshop you’ll design characters and build stories together as a group, journeying through story building deaf characters to reflect their personal experiences.

To round off the session, Luig will then tell the full story in BSL! The event is specifically for deaf and hard of hearing children and all communication methods will be supported.
