SELSI stands for Spoken Easy Language for Social Inclusion.

SELSI project will take place from 2022 to 2024. It is led by Zavod Risa (Slovenia). 

Until now, Easy Language has been mostly researched as a writing technique. SELSI will deliver a model of communication in spoken Easy Language.

At the start of the project, SELSI will research what has been done in the field of spoken Easy Language in Europe.

SELSI will develop recommendations and strategies for spoken Easy language.

At the end of the project, SELSI will introduce an online tool in different languages.
