Youth club BSL level 1
Learn BSL with other deaf young people like you.
This grant funded Youth Club BSL course is an inclusive way to learn BSL with other deaf young people. Taught by experienced deaf tutors, you will learn enough vocabulary and grammar to have basic conversations, identify and understand everyday signs and create a strong foundation for future learning.
The aim of these classes is not only to teach BSL, but to strengthen communication to encourage deaf young people to develop deaf pride and to realise a positive deaf identity.
