We will also have a health fair and area of experience, which will be a place where listening people with the accompaniment of deaf people can experience and experience the communication barriers that people with hearing loss experience.
Jorge Morales, Director of Equal Opportunities said that "MiCultura with this type of event promotes the inclusion of deaf people into society as well as raising public awareness about the reality these people face, how they interacted with the environment and how important they do not isolate them but include them in artistic and cultural activities at national level."
