Disability Awareness
Working with the principle of "disability should have no barriers”, TAC students organized a meaningful awareness event during the Youth Week.
Hosting a group of people with hearing impairment who live in Tarsus for a nice breakfast, TAC students had a chance to plan concrete ways of promoting sign language among their community and mobilizing young people in the campaign.
Our guests, who played table tennis and touched a basketball for the first time, had a nice time with the hospitable TAC students.
