Italian Sign Language accessibility initiatives

Overview

Efforts to increase the visibility and accessibility of Italian Sign Language (LIS) have expanded across different sectors in Italy.

In the public sector, the Lazio Regional Council implemented LIS interpretation for its live-streamed sessions on YouTube. Council President Antonello Aurigemma characterized the move as a step toward “institutional inclusion and accessibility,” ensuring deaf and hard-of-hearing citizens can access public information.

In the private entertainment sector, the brand Alman Kids, in partnership with the CREI, launched ‘Alman LIS’. This YouTube project utilizes a new character, a mermaid named Serenella, to deliver musical and educational content through sign language. The initiative aims to foster inclusion by teaching LIS to both deaf and hearing children through digital media.
