Description
This project uses docu-drama as part of a science communication toolkit to engage deaf students, their families and communities in Ghana. The creation of this culturally relevant film has involved a team of genetics researchers, deaf actors, actors who can hear, public engagement and production experts.
This project so far has allowed to open a space for community engagement around the genetics of hearing impairment, aiming at encouraging more research in that area. This toolkit is the first of its kind in Ghana and has been translated into five local languages.
