FEEL IT

The Consortium of the project Feel It – A Pioneer Curriculum for Designing Tourism Experiences for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people (project number: 2021-1-EL01-KA220-VET-000028082) works together to reach project results! 

Feel It project started on 28th February 2022 and its objectives are:

• Better understand the needs of tourists with hearing impairments.
• Create job opportunities for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people as travel agents for their peers.
• Train travel agents on how to relate with Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers.
• Create a European community of Deaf and Hard of Hearing people who will advise their peers on how to organise their trips.

The partners have already conducted a needs analysis to understand the quality of service and employee responses to the specific needs of Deaf and Hard of Hearing guests regarding accommodation, transport, museums, restaurants, etc.

In particular, these data were used to create the materials that will form the curriculum for tourism professionals and Deaf and Hard of Hearing people who want to become travel agents.

In the next phase of the project, the consortium will develop the training materials and the partners will translate them into national languages; thus, the training course will be recorded in 4 different sign languages!
