Indonesia. The program will be divided into three batches, five weeks each, with 10 participants. The trainers
are the sign language professionals, who work on Deaf education, sign language learning, and Deaf
empowerment. The communication during the training will be full in Indonesia Sign Language.
The curriculum of the training mostly about pedagogy, etiquettes, class management, and critical thinking
