Public Engagement Challenge results

As you may know, EdSign34 was partly funded last year by a grant from the Edinburgh Beltane Beacon for Public Engagement as one of their Pilot Public Engagement Challenge Projects. There were seven entries, and the winner was announced last Wednesday at the Edinburgh Beltane Annual Gathering.

Sadly we didn't win, though we were a close runner-up. However, the overall winner was the BSL:UPTAKE project Knowledge Exchange Cafe, and we extend our congratulations to our friends there. They won £2000 of funding to run another event -- good news for the Deaf community!

You can read more about the winners here and here.

Thanks to everyone who suggested a new name for our group, and all who voted on the suggestions. There were lots of good ideas. We can now announce that the winning name is...

EdSign

We are currently working on plans for the new session which we will announce as soon as we can. This year we hope to have a majority of Deaf presenters. We have lots of ideas already, but if there are people you think we should invite, please do get in touch!

We are also looking for new sources of funding to allow us to pay the interpreters and contribute towards the travel and accommodation costs for our presenters. If you know of any charities or businesses who might be able to help, do let us know.
