VOILA’ is a project, created by De-LAB, which engaged deaf and hearing people in socially-oriented initiatives implying the use of web tools such as online tutorials.
VOILA’ is conceived as a CSR/Communication project for private companies willing to be engaged in Social Innovation issues dealing with the topics of disabled communities’ empowerment and online linguistic/social integration.
VOILA’ is developed together with deaf people, yet, it aims at integrating also hearing people among its public. Indeed, the way in which De-LAB shaped it, made the tutorial equally accessible by the two communities, thus avoiding the so called “ghetto effect”.
To start with, we engaged Clio Zammatteo, a very famous online make-up artist, to speak about beauty and self-esteem to deaf and hearing girls.
The goal of our project is that of replicating the same initiative in diffeent sectors where it is possible to explain a DIY techniques in both Italian and Italian Sign Language.
To do so, we are looking for private investors.
