Tirsdagstræf at Fredenskirken in Viby J is a series of afternoon gatherings that combine community singing of Danish folk high school songs with a talk by an invited guest.
This session features Elisabeth Gross, who presents Hænderne op, an account of how deaf children of school age were moved from deaf schools across Denmark and placed among hearing children in Aarhus after-school centres in the 1980s and up to around 2010. The talk looks at the many lessons learned along the way, often at the children's expense, and at a project that its organisers are proud to have seen recognised.
