High School Sign Language Speech Contest in Japan

Established in 1984, the High School Sign Language Speech Contest in Japan is held to not only provide encouragement and support to high school students learning sign language or participating in sign language club activities but also promote the use of sign language and the advancement of welfare activities.

NEC has sponsored this contest for over 40 years, since the inaugural event in 1984, with numerous NEC Group employees volunteering to help run it each year.

Participant Feedback

Feedback from an employee who participated as volunteer staff

A speech given by one of the high school students reminded me of the importance of interpersonal communication, as did my interactions with other volunteer staff. I am truly grateful to have been given this valuable opportunity and look forward to participating again.
