For the first time in Azerbaijan, Nar, the affordable mobile operator, supported the “Zəka Fest” inclusive intellectual game tournament for young people with speech and hearing impairments. Dedicated to the International Day of Sign Languages, the project was implemented at the initiative of “Şəkərbura Show,” with the support of “Support for the Deaf” the Icherisheher State Historical and Architectural Reserve Administration, Public Television, and other partners. The main goal of the tournament was to strengthen the social integration and creativity of children with hearing impairments while ensuring their access to developmental games.

A total of seven teams competed in the tournament. The five-hour intellectual marathon consisted of seven rounds and a final. Participants applied teamwork and individual critical thinking skills to solve a variety of questions. According to the results, the “Uğur” team secured first place, “Qızıl” came in second, and “Cəsur” took third. The winners and other participating teams received valuable prizes from Nar.

It should be noted that Nar is internationally recognized for its projects aimed at expanding access to information and communication opportunities for people with speech and hearing impairments. The company has been awarded the prestigious Stevie Business Award for its social responsibility initiatives in this field. Supporting the new sign language mobile application represents a logical continuation of Nar’s long-term activities in this area and further strengthens its contribution to building an inclusive society.
