Deaf people and hard of hearing

We have made videos in Flemish Sign Language, in which a theatre group brings to life the entire listening walk. At each location, you can play the accompanying video, with or without subtitles.  

It’s best to start with the introductory video, so you get to know all the characters and frequently used terms. That will make it easier for you to follow and enjoy ‘If walls could talk’.  

Visitors with mild mental impairment and people learning Dutch can use the same videos. In addition to sign language and subtitles, the entire listening walk has also been rewritten in clear language. This simplified version has been re-recorded by one voice actor and is included in these videos.  

• only available in Dutch

Just scan the QR code at the Visit Mechelen desk and watch the videos on your smartphone.

Hearing impaired visitors

For hearing impaired visitors with a hearing aid, all audio files from the listening walk can be linked via your smartphone. 

Ask the Visit Mechelen desk for the QR code that takes you to the audio. You can then play the right story for each location.
