The aim of the project is to create educational sets using the method of debates, prepared to suit the preferred way of teaching deaf people. The project will create 30 "packages" consisting of a short film introducing the topic of debate, lesson outline, set of questions to students and content for teachers. These tools will be comprehensive and complementary to the learning content of deaf people with impaired language communication, as well as apatics, adolescents with auditory processing disorders and central hearing impairment. The project will be tested and implemented in special schools and integration facilities, it will serve to equalize opportunities by shaping attitudes open to the world and society. This task will be to eliminate barriers and backwardness and strongly stimulate the resourcefulness, activity, commitment, ingenuity and creativity of people with hearing impairments. Using modern scientific aids during classes, in addition to the creative-, exercises-, control- and education- functions, meets the criteria of the so-called polisensory teaching - uses larger amounts of sensory or learning styles, which is particularly important in the education of the handicapped people. The target groups are: - children and youth on ISCED 3 teaching level in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The program can be effectively used in school meetings, homes and outside the official education system. - didactic personnel - teaching, pedagogues, school psychologists, - families of deaf people, - dissemination phase - school management staff, teachers, pedagogues, school psychologists, school management and management bodies, decision makers, and higher education institutions.

Thanks the supervision of the Intellectual Work Team will be offered development, providing good value and quality management. Next steps will be: testing, effectiveness control, evaluate to the final version and finally dissemination.

The growing influence of the information media, including the masses and hypermedia, on the life of modern man is noticeable, which has ceased to be only a passive recipient of the applied information, becoming also their creator, hence the recognition of the term prosumer - defining an individual as a simultaneous consumer and producer of information (the concept of prosumer comes from 2 English words: producer and consumer of information in one). Nowadays, media recipients not only use them to obtain information, but also often create them themselves, presenting their point of view to the general public. However, in order for young people to use the media safely and with respect for the rights of others, they should come into contact with a school of the 21st century at the education stage, adapted to media education and boldly using it in the didactic process media. The debate method allows for the use of students' natural curiosity and interest in new technologies and expressive and cooperative media in education. Through the natural work and play environment for students, it teaches responsibility. The advantage of this method is the possibility of differentiating the tasks to the skill level and age of the students.
