Open College of Sign Language have pioneered the way forward for hearing and deaf bullied children.
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) November 20, 2007 --
Boo says, “No!” to Bullies, part two; the birth of Super-Boo.
(Part of the Boo and friends series).
The U.K.s first anti-bullying computer game developed in both ‘sign’ and full English grammar is set to make a noise among Britain’s young school children, a Merseyside
Charity having provided them with a springboard to a whole, new, learning dimension.
Open College of Sign Language will be launching the much sort after children’s book, ‘Boo says “No!” to Bullies’ on the 6th December this year; giving guests at the event a special preview of the U.K’s first ever anti-bullying computer game to be designed in National Signed English, (the brainchild of O.C.S.L).
Boo the cartoon elephant was re-invented by the charity as ‘Super-Boo’, in time for the Easter 2008 launch of the game, ‘Saving Planet Vox.’
Super-Boo with his friends, Rudy, Roscoe, Olivia and Webster embark upon a journey into the un-known, but a world in which bullying becomes a thing of the past. And an adventure that will educate its young learners in sign, too.
During the summer of 2006, Open College of Sign Language provided brief details of it’s plans for the Boo book and sparked a national interest in the story, being asked to review both book and National Signed English on television. The significance being that not only were they developing a children’s story illustrated by both written English and ‘sign’ but had also revolutionised the way in which both hearing and deaf people communicate; National Signed English allowing users to converse in full English grammar, inserted into conventional British Sign Language.
With the backing of many people both hearing and deaf, O.C.S.L are finally set to have the book out and ready for purchase on the 6th December this year at a launch being attended by Neil and Christine Hamilton who will ‘cut the ribbon’ on the big day in Liverpool.
So, Open College of Sign Language, with the support of many, look set to take our children’s learning to a new dimension. Planet Vox maybe?
