Bring it to your school, your staff, or your building.
Every workshop we run publicly can run privately for one organization — on your site or in our studio, adapted to your sector, delivered by Deaf professionals rather than a training company that added an accessibility module.

Make inclusion something parents can see.
Schools write inclusion into policy documents. Parents notice it in the timetable. Three things we run, separately or together — and the programme is built around your term calendar, so talk to us before the budget is set, not after.
Term-long student programme
Real language learning, not an awareness session.
- Built for Grades 7–8 and 10–11, deliberately avoiding exam years
- A term of weekly sessions, adapted from SL 101 for a school timetable
- Taught by a Deaf instructor, so students meet an adult whose life they had not imagined
- Ends with the class filming something of their own
Teacher training day
Sign for Teaching, run for your staff.
- Classroom signs — instruction, routine, praise, transitions
- Getting and holding visual attention without raising your voice
- What to do when a Deaf or hard-of-hearing student is in the room
- Planning a lesson that works with the sound off
Assembly performance and workshop
Produced by Decibel Studio's theater company.
- A Deaf-led piece performed at your school for the whole student body
- Followed by a hands-on workshop in smaller groups
- Filmed, with consent agreed before the day, so you keep the material
- The one students still talk about a year later
Why schools choose us
Four things a training vendor cannot say.
- Taught by Deaf professionals, not a hearing company adapting a service
- Production quality — a working theater studio, not a programme
- Visible to parents, in your prospectus and your calendar
- Led by Chafic Kolaylat, who represents Deaf individuals at the Ministry of Social Affairs
Your customers include Deaf people.
There are Deaf people in every bank queue, every hospital waiting room, every shop and hotel lobby in Lebanon. In most of them, nobody on staff can say a single word to them. That is a half-day problem for the basics and a longer one to do properly.
Sign at Work — front-line staff
Four sessions, six hours, on your site, up to 15 people.
- What currently happens to your Deaf customers, in your sector
- First contact — attention, eye contact, writing, gesture
- The forty signs your staff actually need
- Live service practice with Deaf visitors, not role-play
Leadership and internal comms
Half a day with management, HR and communications.
- What accessibility means past compliance and a ramp
- Hiring, onboarding and keeping a Deaf employee
- Making your own content usable — captions, video, signed versions
- What to stop doing, which is usually the shorter list
Annual partnership
For organizations that want this to be ongoing rather than an event.
- Repeat training as staff turn over
- Access to Deaf creative talent for hiring, through Decibel's Empower department
- A co-branded awareness campaign produced by our Production team
- Reporting with real numbers for your CSR or ESG obligations
Sign for Care — private cohort
Clinics, hospitals, NGOs and university departments.
- The full six-session Care workshop, run for one institution
- Adapted to your setting — mental health, primary care, emergency, social work
- Ends in a practice clinic with Deaf participants
- The workshop most likely to change a patient outcome this year
Institutional programmes are quoted per programme, not per participant, and the quote covers preparation, delivery, materials and the Deaf collaborators who take part. Tell us the group, the setting and roughly when — a proposal comes back within a week.
Tell us what your organization needs.
One conversation with Chafic, then a written proposal with dates, hours and a single price. No seat counting.
