The
project "Croatian Sign Language on Internet" was originally
a part of the project "Liturgy in Sign Language" which is a
project of the Faculty of Philosophy of the Society of Jesus
in Zagreb and CARNet. Our primary goal was to demonstrate how
could Internet be used in evangelization and education of the
deaf persons. We also wanted to make available articles on sign
language, deafness and the deaf persons on Internet. Now we
have more than 300 pages of text on different topics like education
of the deaf persons, culture of the deaf persons, cochlear implant
etc. We also created an animated Croatian sign language dictionary
with more than 100 terms and the number of terms is growing
daily. Our final aim is to make a tribute to standardization
and full acknowledgement of the sign language in Croatia and
to make available useful information to the parents of the deaf
children.
