The Uniwording Association, non-profit, was born in 2012 pursuant to art. 60 and following of the Swiss Civil Code. Its purpose is the creation of Uniwording Sign Language, designed for hearing people, who can use it when confronted with language barriers.
The Uniwording language has a gestural vocabulary inspired by the many existing sign languages used by the deaf.
The association also aims to develop an innovative method for self-learning, both sensory and virtual. It also intends to promote a broad awareness of the cultural and social advantages of a coded gestural communication that is easy to access for anyone. Although the project is aimed at hearing people, over time the deaf will also benefit and will be able to communicate easily, using Uniwording as their second language, with hearing people: in the workplace as in free time and in moments of normal daily socialization.
