The group of blind and visually impaired people still faces discrimination and disadvantages in the European society, on
the labour market and in education and training systems. During the last few years a range of innovative development
projects, particularly within the Leonardo da Vinci programme, have been created throughout Europe that, if adequately
distributed and utilised, will reduce the barriers in vocational education and training.
It is a central concern of the ValorVIP conference to match the demand for innovative concepts and approaches to reduce
barriers with offers, products and results from EU projects.

Topics include:

20th September (09.00 - 16.15)
• Conditions for a successful integration of blind and visually impaired people
• European reality in the accessibility of education for blind and visually impaired people
Plus: two more topics selected from the Call for Papers


21st September (09.00 - 15.00)
Workshops:
• Accessibility and IT
• Accessibility and Language
• Accessibility and Mobility
• Accessibility and Learning Environment
• Accessibility and Organisational Environment
