The city government of Volta Redonda in Rio de Janeiro state has opened registrations for a free LIBRAS course aimed at individuals aged 12 and older. Interested participants can register online until this Sunday, October 8, or in person starting Monday, October 9, at the Municipal Department of People with Disabilities' headquarters. The course will have limited spots and will cater to three distinct age groups: adolescents from 12 to 16, individuals from 17 onwards, and seniors over 60.

Classes will be held at two locations, the Colégio Delce Horta and the UGB (Centro Universitário Geraldo Di Biasi), both situated in the Aterrado neighborhood. According to the Municipal Department, the course aims to facilitate communication with the deaf community, promoting inclusion and accessibility. This initiative highlights the growing recognition of the importance of sign language in fostering understanding and support for people with disabilities within the community.

As the deadline for registration approaches, community members are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their skills and contribute to a more inclusive society. The emphasis on such educational programs underscores the commitment of Volta Redonda's local government to address social issues related to disability, ensuring that communication barriers are minimized and that all citizens can participate in communal activities more fully.
