Again we were glad to contribute to this year's Diversity Day of the Hamburg University at the 18th of June by familiarising many interested people with German Sign Language. We had offered two initial courses for beginners, one taught by Stefan Goldschmidt, the other one by Pamela Sundhausen. The list of registrations was long. The participants were students and colleagues from a high variety of faculties and research domains at the University of Hamburg. By the end of the class the participants were glad about their first successful steps into signed communication. Our teachers were happy to answer the questions in detail thanks to our sign language interpreter Michaela Matthaei who facilitated the communication in both ways.
