About

In the upcoming World Kamishibai Forum webinar, Kamishibai and Deaf Children, presenters will discuss how to make kamishibai accessible for children with disabilities.

The World Kamishibai Forum is a free series of ten Zoom meetings that focus on different aspects of kamishibai. Live attendees will meet and interact with the presenters who are experienced kamishibai creators/presenters from around the globe and have deep experience in their work. The workshops will be recorded and made available to view later.
