adventhoeren.at calls attention to deafness

16. Dez 2009

The pre-Christmas season is the time for telling stories. But almost 10.000 Austrians can't hear them, as they are deaf. With the first interactive advent calender for deaf and hearing people we want to call attention to deafness.

After a pre-Christmas Kickoff event on November 30, the first window of this unique advent calender opened up and showed the first of 23 Christmas tales, dedicated by various companies and their employees. The stories - declaimed by the employees or professional speakers - are also translated into sign language. Some of them are even told in English and in international sign languages such as "The fountain pen" or "The Christmas Fairy".

On December 24, ADVENTHÖREN publishes YOUR personal story! Just send us your favourite Christmas anecdote. The jolliest, most incredible or most touching one will complete our interactive advent calender by filling the last window.
