Details: This course aims to highlight how to engage with blind and visually impaired young people and support them to get involved into regular international youth activity. Candidates will learn:
- How to guide blind and visually impaired young people
- Make adaptions to sessions that allow for inclusion
- Find out about the range of different impairments and how this effects vision
- Develop ideas for activities with blind and visually impaired young people
- Gain a network with partners willing to make activities with blind and visually impaired young people
Building upon the successful project, which was delivered in Bosnia and Herzegovina last year, (http://bit.ly/1m9WBwN) we will deliver a number of sessions around inclusion, empathy and understanding. These sessions worked very well with sighted participants and strongly developed their sense of empathy and willingness to support blind and visually impaired young people. During the training, we will build-up skills with participants as well as teaching about the different forms of blindness and impairments. Towards the end of the week, we will invite blind and visually impaired young people to come and enjoy and experience the facilities the centre has to offer. This will then support the participants to get some hands-on experience in guiding and adapting activities round the young people abilities.
Our partners for this project:
- HYP Learning, Greece
- Asociatia Babilon Travel, Romania
- Associazione Studenti per la Citta, Italy
- Autonomia e Descoberta, CRL, Portugal
