Recording in progress at Comboni College of Science and Technology in Sudan
Monday, October 6, 2025
Comboni College of Science and Technology (CCST) is developing a web platform to teach the Signs Language in Sudanese Arabic to communicate with deaf and hard-of-hearing persons. The website in fact is designed to teach the language using multimedia resources. The platform will cater to Sudanese Arabic-speaking users who wish to learn this language for personal, professional or educational purposes. The goal is to promote inclusivity, communication, and awareness in Sudan, especially among educators, families, and organizations supporting the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities.
The website will also facilitate the access to accredited translators of the Sudan National Union of Deaf Persons so that institutions may find it easy to include persons with earing challenges in their activities. The recording of the video-lessons started on September 30 with an accredited translator provided by the Sudan National Union of Deaf Persons.
The development of the digital platform is executed by a lecturer of the Computer Science Department of the College who works with three fresh graduates of the BSc in Computer Science and the BSc in Information Technology. The project is part of a wider one headed by AISPO and funded by Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo – Ufficio di Addis Abeba that aims to the integration of persons with different kinds of disabilities.
Within the same framework, the department of English is collaborating with AISPO to translate 1,200 business plans presented by persons with disabilities in Red Sea State from Arabic language into English.
