From: European Blind Union – Working Group on Braille.
To: EBU member organisations
Dear colleagues and friends,
Many braillists organisations worldwide are promoting celebrations to commemorate the 200th anniversary of braille.
In this regard, the European Blind Union, through its working group on braille, has designed an initiative aimed at involving braille users in a creative experience.
Therefore, we are delighted to invite you to join our project. Our aim is to collect pieces inspired by our writing code, from blind and sighted users all over Europe.
We would like them to work on the production of any artistic or personal output: video or podcast about braille, text, grafics or drawings in braille, based on braille signs or shapes, or any other contributions they might creatively come up with related to the braille code. The pieces can be stories, poems, songs, reports, advice to other braille users, games with braille, software etc.
We hope to receive 365 contributions, so that we can release one per day, throughout the whole year of 2025.
We Will publish these pieces on our European braille forum: www.livingbraille.eu and send out via many different channels including e-mail newsletter and social media channels. And we invite you to do the same in your country.
Thus, we send you a motivational text, addressed to your braille users, which you will need to translate and to spread through your target group lists and social media.
We are truly looking forward to receiving these fantastic and original contributions, straight from the users.
If you have questions or remarks or want to express your collaboration, please mail to [email protected]
Thanks in advance for your cooperation and involvement.
