Project Summary

Main purpose of the project „From Education to Inclusion“ (EDI) is to improve accessibility in environment, information and communication for blind and partially sighted people in order to enable their participation in all areas of life. In collaboration with the project partners, Teiresias Centre of MU (the Czech Republic) and Funka (Sweden), we will create, test and evaluate training modules on accessibility for people with visual impairment. Within the project we will at one hand improve competences of employees of local authorities who have direct impact on the level of accessibility for blind and partially sighted and on the other hand competences of leaders with visual impairment i.e. active advocates of rights within their community. All training modules, used methodology and good practice from involved partners will be summarized in the project intellectual outputs: 1) the toolkit for trainers, 2) the toolkit for employees of local authorities and 3) the toolkit for blind and partially sighted leaders. From a long-term perspective we are expecting a positive change in all areas of accessibility for people with visual impairment and most of all improvement of their social inclusion.
