Different Ways to Speak – From Hands to Hearts

 School project, 25 Sep 2025 - 10 Okt 2025, Legionowo, Poland

This project celebrates the European Day of Languages by showing that communication is more than just words. Students learn about Koko the gorilla, who used sign language to express her thoughts and emotions, and discover how people around the world also use their hands to “speak.” Together, they create colorful posters about sign language and different ways of communication, showing that every language — spoken or signed — connects hearts.
