Through the Carousel of Careers project we want to give deaf children the opportunity to dream about what they want to be when they grow up. We want the children to meet their heroes from all walks of life - doctors, teachers, firemen, policemen, photographers, actors and so on, and to get to know what their jobs are. Learning about the professions, the knowledge and skills they need, will boost their motivation for success. Supporting them to build a world where Deaf Kids Can Do Anything!
