The “PITAGORAS” Development Association was established in 2010 on the initiative of a group of people interested in popularizing sign language and building their own social competences.
Our goal is to conduct educational, cultural, vocational, social and medical activities aimed at people with disabilities, the unemployed, at risk of social and professional exclusion, and everyone interested in their own development. An important element of our activity is education in the field of Polish Sign Language (PJM) of various social and professional groups.
We have experts in teaching sign language and providing translation/interpretation services. We carry out many educational projects with the use of new technologies, also at the European level. Our advantage is the education of Deaf people in various areas of their daily life. Our goal is to provide sign language access to places that are freely used by hearing people, e.g. museums. We also translate materials for institutions and companies.
