Debate
Participants are asked to discuss a topic that is controversial or otherwise emotional. These can be issues specific to deaf culture, such as declining memberships of deaf associations or the role of cochlea implants, or general societal issues, such as smoking bans. The goal of the task is to create emotional discussions in which signers express themselves freely without monitoring how they sign.
