What we do?

The ESEC aims to be recognized as a welcoming school of multiple formations – Education, Communication, Tourism, Arts and Multimedia – enabling its graduates for a performance that adds value to the communities of the Coimbra Region, and Portuguese society in general.
We offer an Adult Education Master Course and undergraduate programs related to Adult Education and Educational Gerontology, as well as training in Adult Literacy.

Intensive Study Programme – Inclusive Education in Early Childhood Education: Developing Good Practices
In this Project we adopt a broader point of view, which considers inclusive education as a process to foster participation and increase the attendance of vulnerable and marginalized children at school (including children with disabilities). Inclusive education in this sense is regarded as the primary way to achieve “Education for All”.
Developing Good Practices: Inclusive Education in Early Childhood is an Erasmus Plus funded project that aims to develop a manual with models of inclusive practice from the participating countries. The model is supported by examples of good practice, activities and case studies to support pre and inservice teachers working with children from birth to 8.

Deaf Interpreters in Europe
Erasmus plus Project on “Developing Deaf Interpreters in Europe”. This project is coordinated by the Danish Deaf association (DDA) and has four more partners: University of Hamburg (UHH); Humak University of Applied Science (Humak); Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra (IPC) and the European Forum of Sign Language Interpreters (EFLSI).

With the aim of promoting and researching deaf interpreters in Europe, the partners are focused on several themes related with interpreting. IPC’s two research themes are “Deaf interpreters on TV” and “International Sign Interpreting”. At the moment we are engaged in the first one. We have done some research based on literature on the matter and interviews to deaf interpreters and we think that it will be a gain for everybody, deaf community, hearing and deaf interpreters, to have a deaf interpreter in the signed language screen inset. This contributes positively for deaf community identity and for deaf people to be the linguistic models. In what concerns the other paper that we are preparing we intend to reflect on the fact of using International Sign when interpreting can provide more accessibility and be a gain or can it be a linguistic loss? However we have barely started working on that. When we get into it deeper we will update this information.

The project “Developing Deaf Interpreters in Europe” has already had three meetings and one seminar. The meetings were at DDA, Humak and again at DDA. Besides this last meeting there has been a seminar transmitted life stream! This seminar put together several countries that came to attend it and allowed a very interesting and fruitful exchange of ideas!
