3 hours ago | 34 views

New Zealand has launched a 10-year NZSL Strategy 2026-2036 to strengthen and promote New Zealand Sign Language, making it a more visible and valued part of everyday life. The strategy focuses on increasing NZSL fluency among Deaf people, especially children in hearing families, and improving understanding and acceptance of NZSL among non-users to reduce access barriers. It emphasizes integration across government, business, media, and communities, celebrating NZSL milestones and encouraging everyone to support its use daily.
