OUR STORY

Third Wave Coffee and Third Way of Thinking: “They Speak Sign Language”

A shocking 4% of the population in Turkey is deaf. However, Turkish sign language was banned until 2005 as an “incentive” for the deaf to speak. Despite the progress of the last few years the focus of the Turkish government is merely on ‘assisting’ rather than embracing and integrating. A lot still needs to happen for the deaf population to feel part of mainstream society.

As Dem Foundation, we believe in an alternative approach for a better social integration. We want to encourage natural day-to-day interactions between deaf and non-deaf. Project Cezve (Coffee Pot) is a step in that direction. The first 3rd wave coffee shop that also teaches people about the situation of the 3 million deaf people in Turkey. The café is run by deaf and non-deaf people and serves as a home for everyday interactions, aiming to shift perceptions through empathy and collective action.

Combining deaf culture and an ages old coffee ceremony in public, we invite everyone to think differently about coffee and people with disabilities.
