May 2018

On May 17th 2018 which corresponded to the Global Accessibility awareness day, EBU started a new way of communicating to listeners by launching new podcast about assistive technology. The EBU Access Cast is a new monthly show, which specifically focuses on news and reviews from the assistive tech industry from a European prospective.

From 23 to 25 May, the German Federation of the Blind represented EBU at the International Transport Forum in Leipzig.

Ever since 1964, when I went totally blind, I have not been able to read a printed newspaper. This has all now changed through a new tablet that has been produced by the RNIB in association with a software company called Real Thing.

As previously announced, a new position of Head of Campaigning was created at the EBU.
