Several employees of the Communication Centre went to Slovenia on the day. The trip was twofold; to attend the conference Everything is in our hands and to participate in the creation of a global organisation of sign language institutions. The Ministry of Culture and Commerce sponsored the trip, and Kristín Lena Þorvaldsdóttir, director and Uldis Ozols, project manager in sign language teaching, spoke about the Communication Centre at the conference. The conference’s speakers discussed the services provided by sign language institutions around the world. The conference clearly showed that Iceland is ahead of most countries when it comes to sign language services, whether in terms of teaching, interpretation or advisory services. Many opportunities for Iceland were also revealed, such as in the field of word-of-mouth and curriculum development, and the conference was crucial to finding the right partners for such projects. At the end of the conference, a working group of the organization of sign language institutions was appointed and Iceland was a member of it.
