For clubs, schools and groups

Run a signathon.

Access on this page: Signed: International Sign — pending How this page is tested

Run an afternoon that signs 30 places. Bring Deaf signers together, pick the places, and watch your city fill up on the map.

Planning your own opens soon. Joining one with a code works today.

This page in sign language

A Deaf organiser, credited by name, shows what a signathon afternoon looks like, in sign language. Captions and a transcript ship with the video. Recording once a Deaf organiser is booked.

How it works

One afternoon. Three jobs.

  1. Choose the places

    We prepare the easy-read text for each one.

  2. Teams of three

    A Deaf signer. A Deaf reviewer. A helper who films.

  3. Publish on the spot

    Review it there and then. See it on the map that evening.

What you need

Phones and an afternoon.

  • Phones. One for each team.
  • A plain wall and good light. So the signer is easy to see.
  • An afternoon. No budget is needed.

Sponsors can fund paid signathons.

Join one with a code

Six characters. The organiser shows it, or it is on the QR code.

Planning a signathon is not open to everyone yet. Tell us who you are. We will write when it opens.

For Deaf clubs, NGOs, schools and youth groups.

So we can tell you when it opens. Nothing else.
