### Update on 30st May 2022

### This proposal does not get support from the council members of the community so we are postponing this tutorial series. Thank you for all the support.


My name is Sonal Banerjii. You can find me on riot as **@sb_ksm:matrix.org**.  I have been writing documentation and translating Polkadot and Kusama content for the Urdu speaking community. I’ve been awarded multiple tips for my efforts towards the community.

According to the World Report on Disability  by WHO from 2011, the most marginalised people when it comes to education are not the poor but rather people with special disabilities. Particularly in the crypto space, these folks are being widely excluded from even providing them the basics of crypto education.

It’s our duty to include newcomers into this industry through educating them properly and while there will always be people that are not willing to put in the time, we’ve seen over and over again that there’s many that do want to learn more, but simply can’t find good educational sources to do so. 

Since Polkadot is one of the most used crypto platforms and we’re seeing so many folks getting acquainted with it, I believe opening up such a learning opportunity by teaching them just the basics would bring about a revolution in the crypto space.

Our goal with this proposal is to create 30 educational videos geared towards people with special disabilities with a focus on explaining the basics. Based on my research with sign language interpreters as well teachers and other creators in this space, creating sign language based videos require a couple of people including:

- Sign language interpreters
- Conceptual content creators
- Instructional designers
- Visual story makers
- Editors

Connecting and getting all of these folks on board does require some funds and hence the need for this proposal. 

You can take a look at the entire proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-GzRyrXL2CwVo-1tHTHluXy0y7v6LLTldNPC7SxJgIY/).

Since we would get all the above mentioned creators on board, we wanted to make sure that they have the resources in place to create these videos. Hence, we are proposing a one-time payment for all the milestones.

We would love to hear your feedback and get your thoughts around the project. Feel free to leave a comment below, or reach out via email, anytime.
