Join us for the official launch of the ICEVI–WBU Global Braille Literacy Campaign
On behalf of the International Council for the Education of People with Visual Impairment (ICEVI) and the World Blind Union (WBU), we are pleased to invite you to a live virtual event on World Braille Day, marking the official launch of the ICEVI–WBU Global Braille Literacy Campaign: More Braille, More Empowerment.
The campaign champions braille as a foundation for literacy, learning, independence, and empowerment. The event will be hosted by the Braillists Foundation and live simultaneous translation will be available in French and Spanish.
The event will centre on a lively panel discussion with internationally recognised braille experts, exploring current and emerging topics in braille literacy across inclusive school, work, and community contexts.
The event is free and open to everyone worldwide who shares a commitment to inclusive literacy and empowerment including policy makers, educators, families, advocates, researchers, organisations committed to inclusive literacy and the right to braille … and, most importantly of all, braille users!
We warmly encourage you to register for the live virtual event and share this invitation with your networks.
