Solo, Indonesia: Kawan Tuli Coffee & Space, run by Deaf baristas, invites customers to learn sign language
Kawan Tuli Coffee & Space on Jalan Cut Nya Dien in Jebres, Solo, is an inclusive coffee shop where Deaf baristas prepare drinks and serve customers using visual communication, giving the public a chance to learn sign language. It grew out of the Kawan Tuli Barista Training Program started in 2024 by Florentino Bintang and Windri Rusli with British Council support, Gerkatin Solo, the Deaf Volunteer Organisation and local coffee businesses.
