Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Inclusion of people with blindness or vision impairment into social life and worksphere is a huge task for our society as a whole. There are several elaborate and expensive technical devices available for this target group. Such assistive devices are e.g. reading devices, Braille displays, or computer based recognition systems for workplace, but also aids for all day living. The technological development of these electronic devices for the vision impaired proceeds rather rapidly. Only with the help of such technologies, inclusion can be achieved successfully.This mobility project will bring education staff from selected partner countries into direct touch. The project aims to revealing current development trends in the field of assistive technology as well as discussing suittable educational concepts for introducing the available technology to the target group of persons being blind or vision impaired.The project takes alltogether 6 experts from Germany to their colleagues in Bulgaria and France. The situation in these 3 countries is quite different concerning the assistive technology for the blind. Thus all the 3 partners can learn a lot in choosing optimally suitable devices and providing new training methods for the target group.The implementation of the mobilities will be as 2 short stays filled with workshops and seminars including the target group of people being blind an vision impaired. Optimized procedures for choosing suitable assistive devices and improved inclusion will be the long-term outcomes of this project.
