The University of Basilicata in Italy will be the first to provide interpreters for deaf students of LIS (Italian Sign Language) courses for the humanities: what is expected in a memorandum of understanding signed this morning in Potenza, the rector of the University, Mauro Fiorentino, President of the Region, Vito De Filippo, the councilor training, Rosa Mastrosimone, and the regional president of ENS, John Gorgoglione. The project, financed by the Basilicata Region with a total cost of € 120 000, Lis provides a training course for 15 people, totaling 500 hours. The new interpreters will be available to deaf people in the classrooms of the University: "The project - said Fiorentino - is centered on the humanities courses, as there are other cases in Italy and in the world except in Washington, but we plan to assist students also in science. " It is "a great opportunity per gli studenti - hanno evidenziato De Filippo e Mastrosimone – oltre a essere un altro tassello nel percorso di sostegno alla nostra Università, e in questo senso la Basilicata è l’unica regione italiana a contribuire costantemente alle esigenze del suo ateneo”. La presenza degli interpreti Lis, infine, rappresenta “un grande segno di civiltà – ha spiegato Gorgoglione – e di collaborazione con le istituzioni”. ( Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno )
