This assignment focuses on making an inclusion video accessible to International Sign (IS) users.

Note:
Online Volunteering is a rapidly growing service of UNV (short task-based, without contract and free of charge)
Online Volunteering online allows volunteers to develop their skills and take on new roles that their professional life may not necessarily provide. Organizations collaborate with people of different backgrounds from all over the world who become part of a global online community of peers who all share the goal of advancing human development. Online Volunteers conduct assignments via the Internet to bolster the activities of United Nations entities, governments and civil society organizations.
